Good Monday and welcome to a busy weather week. Things are starting off on a tropical note with very warm temps and high humidity levels. All of this comes crashing down later this week as a strong cold front brings a big cool down our way. Between now and then may get a little bumpy as storms fire up.

Temps today will hit the mid and upper 80s across the entire state. Some areas have a shot at the first 90 degree reading of the year. Throw in high humidity levels and the sweat index will be way up there. An isolated thunderstorm will most certainly blow up in the heat and humidity.

Tuesday will be another very warm and humid day with temps back into the mid and high 80s. There’s a better shot at getting showers and storms going by the end of the day and the models are hinting at the possibility of some big boomers. Here’s the NAM Simulated Radar for Tuesday Evening…

NAM 1The GFS is heading in that direction for the same time…

All of this is part of a massive severe weather outbreak across the plains states. This will likely provide us with the potential for strong or severe storms from late Tuesday into Wednesday and Thursday.

Much cooler and drier air swings in for Friday with temps in the upper 60s and low 70s for highs. This pleasant weather will continue into the first half of the Memorial Day Weekend. Things may try to turn stormy by Sunday or Monday as the battle zone of weather tries to set up across our region…

Have a great day and take care.
