Good Monday and welcome to August. The final month of Summer is upon us and it’s starting out with what we have been seeing for the first two months… Storms. Rounds of showers and storms will impact the region this week, and these can easily cause additional issues.
Today is a day to watch the west and northwest for a few clusters of storms diving in here. These can be on the strong side, while packing a lot of lightning and torrential rains. With the saturated ground, local high water issues will be possible. This setup has been talked about on this blog for the past few days.
Your tracking tools in a bit.
More of the same will be with us Tuesday and Wednesday, with similar issues possible.
A cold front slowly works in from the northwest later in the week. That bad boy will put the brakes on across the Ohio Valley, allowing for more rounds of storms…
That’s a setup that will try to incorporate some Gulf moisture, so the heavy rain threat will continue.
The ensembles for the next few weeks show a setup featuring storms from the plains into the Ohio Valley…
The tropics are becoming increasingly active and this matches up well with climatology. The models are strongly hinting at some Gulf action over the next few weeks, and a few runs keep showing a bigger threat…
I leave you with your storm trackers for the day…
Make it a great day and take care.
