Good Wednesday to one and all. It’s the last day of the month and this stormy pattern shows little sign of letting up. Rounds of strong to severe storms will impact the region again today with more through the end of the week. These storms may also produce flash flooding concerns.

This pattern is playing out as I expected from last week. I made this graphic for you guys 8 days ago…

Storms on the eastern edge of a heat ridge generally pack three things:

  1. Damaging wind
  2. Torrential rainfall
  3. Lots of lightning

Those are three things we have certainly seen a lot of since Sunday and there’s a lot more to come. Waves of storms continue to roll from northwest to southeast across the state today, leading to more in the way of severe weather and possible flash flooding.

Here’s today’s Severe Weather Outlook from the Storm Prediction Center…

Damaging wind is the greatest threat with any of the storms out there today. Here’s a breakdown of the various threat levels from the Storm Prediction Center…

This threat continues into Thursday and Friday. Here are the outlooks for those days from the Storm Prediction Center…

In addition to the severe storms threat, I’m very concerned about the potential for flash flooding with repeat rounds of storms targeting areas farther east than the past few days.

This pattern will finally end by the weekend as an upper level system drops in from the northwest…
