<\/p>\nGood Sunday and Happy Mother’s Day. As our celebrate all the moms out there, it’s only appropriate that Mother Nature tries to steal the show. We are tracking the potential for strong to severe storms across much of the region. This will be followed by a much cooler week ahead.<\/p>\n
Let’s start things out with a look at the Severe Weather Outlook from the Storm Prediction Center…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Damaging winds and large hail are the main threats. There’s a local tornado threat, especially across the west.<\/p>\n
With or without thunderstorms, winds are going to be a major player today. Widespread gusts of 40mph or greater may show up, so keep that in mind.<\/p>\n
Temps behind all this are crazy cool for next week and could offer up another frost threat or two. Every single day will feature highs well below normal with the next chance for a shower coming later in the week.<\/p>\n
The models are trying to warm things up by next weekend, but it’s looking more and more like a struggle. Notice how the EURO keeps that milder air arms length while bringing in another cool blast early the following week…<\/p>\n
The late Sunday run of the GFS backed that up and took it to another level through the rest of the run…<\/p>\n That goes through May 24th. 🤬<\/p>\n The GFS Ensembles 7 day temperature departure ending at the same time have a warmer look…<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/EURO-4.gif\")
