Severe Threat Through Tonight

Good Wednesday to one and all. It’s another active weather day with the potential for some stronger storms going up later in the day. This is ahead of the first of two cold fronts working in here over the next several days, each delivering some pleasant air. Pleasant isn’t the word I would use to describe the air later next week.

Let’s start this journey with what’s happening today and roll forward.

It’s a rather humid day with a system rolling in from the west. This will likely touch off a few showers and thunderstorms with a greater concentration of storms this evening. Some of these storms may be strong or severe with damaging winds and large hail.

The Storm Prediction Center has the entire region in the risk for severe storms through the evening…

We will also need to be on guard for local high water issues. Many areas have picked up a lot of rain since Monday so it won’t take much.

A cooler and drier brand of air comes in behind this for Thursday. Look at all those glorious 70s for highs…

Another system then rumbles through with scattered showers and storms later Friday into early Saturday. That’s being pushed by another shot of very pleasant air for the weekend. Highs on Saturday are likely in the 70s again…

Temps will rebound very quickly by Monday and Tuesday with the increasing potential for heat and humidity for the middle and end of next week. Temps should go well above normal…

We are gonna sweat for a few days, folks!

Storms will eventually knock this stuff back toward the west, but that may be a nice little fight for a while.

I leave you with your storm tracking tools for the day…
