Good Friday, everyone. All eyes continue to be on the potential for a high wind and severe weather event this Sunday into Sunday night. The Storm Prediction Center has the entire region in the slight risk area, with the highest chance for severe weather right on top of us…
Here’s a breakdown…
– A strong cold front sweeps eastward across the state Sunday evening into the overnight hours.
– Lines of showers and thunderstorms will race eastward ahead of the boundary.
– Damaging wind will be the primary threat. There appears to be just enough shear for a quick tornado spin up… especially across the west and northwest.
– Winds will be very gusty with or without thunderstorms. Gusts of 40mph+ will be likely.
– This system reminds me a bit of the Halloween storm that brought high winds to this entire region. Similar to that event… we may not see a lot of lightning showing up.
The action will wind down quickly from west to east Sunday night and Monday morning as much colder air surges in here.
Looking down the road… the pattern is loading up with a lot of winter for the last of this month into November. I will be highly surprised if we don’t have another snowfall before this month is over. If you like cold and snow… you should really like this setup.
Have a great day and take care.
Thanks for the heads up Chris, sounds like it could get bad Sunday!
Stay safe folks!
We didn’t get much at all out of the Halloween storm so maybe it will be ok
I wonder how this set-up compares to November 10, 2002 or November 15, 2005?
I’m so sick of severe weather………I used to get excited about it………..but I don’t know why the past couple of years it does NOTHING for me……other than freak me out…..
it may be that as we get older that it is not as fun to have the electric going off for hours or days at at a time and having to live like cave men……as a kid i used to wish for a big snow that would make every thing come to a stand still for 2 or 3 days but since i have grown up i have come to learn that this stuff is not fun to drive in…..just saying…..imo
Definitely know what ya mean, even though I’ve never been excited for severe weather. IMO some times it is way overhyped. Not to say that it isn’t a serious issue. Often the media freaks me out to no end, like we’re all gonna die, then nothing happens. Then I doubt it, then here comes another severe weather outbreak. Scares me to no end.
