Good Monday to one and all. A few rounds of thunderstorms will impact the region today, and some of these could be strong to severe. The overall setup looks to throw additional rounds of storms our way, even has hotter times try to develop.
Today’s storms drop in from the north and northwest and may contain high winds and hail. Any storm that goes up may also be loaded with heavy rain and lightning. That heavy rain can lead to local high water issues. I will have your tracking tools in a moment.
A few more storms may impact the region Tuesday into Wednesday as very steamy air moves our way for the end of the week. Even as temps and humidity levels rise, the thunderstorm threat remains. As a matter of fact, the models have taken on much more of a stormy look for the weekend…
Storms firing up on the periphery of a big heat ridge can sometimes pack a severe weather punch. That’s something to watch for.
A weak trough looks to dig into the Mississippi Valley early next week. That may fuel more storms…
The next two weeks worth of rain from the GFS show a very active thunderstorm pattern rolling on…
That’s especially true when you consider individual thunderstorms can deliver a lot more rain than that in a short period.
I have you all set to track today’s storms…

What would it take to dislodge the pool of very warm water that has been off the west coast and in the Gulf of Alaska the past few years?
Sharon, this just my opinion our weather comes in cycles even with all the talk of the warming climate theory. Yes I do believe mankind has effect our pattern to some extent but not the way scientist are saying. I can remember back in early 90’s that they were saying some of coastal area would be under water by now. That hasn’t never materialized . Also one last I very well remember back in late 60’s the so scientist at the time we’re saying we were headed to an ice age do the fact we’re experiencing extremely cold winters in the 60’s and 70’s
