FORECAST DISCUSSION:
Happy Tuesday!
We'll see a few spotty showers and rumbles working through this morning, but they will be very light and quick. We'll then see a lot of dry time during the daytime hours, with highs in the middle 60s and breezy conditions. This evening, around and shortly after the evening commute, a few scattered showers then develop, out ahead of heavier, and more widespread showers and thunderstorms that develop tonight into early Wednesday morning.
The Storm Prediction Center has our area under a level 2-out-of-5 risk for a strong to severe storm tonight. Primary threats look to be damaging winds, and also the potential for hail. The tornado threat is very low with this system. As far as timing goes, most of it looks to arrive around and after midnight tonight, which should work in our favor, as the system will be losing some of its daytime energy.
Showers and storms linger through the first half of Wednesday, before tapering early afternoon, and leaving us with a few flurries. We start Wednesday morning warm, then temps fall through the afternoon. We'll also be fairly windy.
By Thursday, we're clearing, but colder. Expect more sunshine, with highs in the lower 40s.
For Friday, we're looking at an isolated afternoon shower chance, otherwise mainly dry, with highs in the upper 40s.
We continue to warm into the weekend, with lots of sunshine.
