FORECAST DISCUSSION:

Good evening!

We’re continuing to watch for the chance for thunderstorms this evening ahead of a hot, steamy start to the workweek.

We’re continuing to keep an eye on a line of strong to severe storms moving toward the I-70 corridor.

Currently theses storms are strong enough to create damaging wind gust, large hail and even tornadoes.

These are linked to a front that has slowly been heading through Ohio. It will stall out over the area and then move back to the north tonight.

As we lose heat from the day, we will lose instability to keep storms going. As storms clear out this evening and overnight, we will be left with a mostly cloudy sky.

With the front retreating up to the north tomorrow, clouds will start to clear out during the day. But, we will be under a southerly flow which will increase heat and humidity. Temperatures on Tuesday and Wednesday will reach the upper 80s to around 90 degrees, but feel about 5 degrees warmer.

Another weak cold front will move through at the end of the workweek and bring in much cooler temperatures.
