Good evening, folks. The next two days are going to be very active across our part of the world. The severe weather threat will increase later Tuesday and carry us into Wednesday.
Warm and moist air moves in here on Tuesday. The leading edge of this may have a few strong storms with it around the middle of the day. Winds are then going to absolutely crank as our atmosphere becomes very unstable.
The initial severe storms threat is to our west during the afternoon and early evening, but that threat rolls eastward Tuesday night. A few storms may get out on their own, leading to a few tornadoes spinning up. Here’s the latest outlook from the Storm Prediction Center for Tuesday…
The severe weather threat increase late Tuesday night into Wednesday for central and eastern parts of the state. This may include a squall line of strong to severe thunderstorms racing eastward with damaging winds and isolated tornadoes…
With our without thunderstorms, high winds are going to be an issue. Gusts will likely top out at greater than 40mph through Wednesday.
I will update things later tonight. Make it a good evening and take care.
No power outages = win 🙂
Thanks, CB!
Have a feeling the SPC will issue MODERATE RISKS later tonight for Tuesday and Wednesday! !
Did you know what the National Weather Service of Chicago, Illinois stated today? For the first time in 146 years of keeping weather records, there has been no snow on the ground during the months of January and February! I find that information to be very surprising!
