Good Sunday to one and all. Rounds of strong to severe storms will rumble across the region today into Monday. While not a washout, we are looking at some heatlhy rains when the storms do rumble through. This is all part of a very active setup that really doesn’t look much like early August.<\/p>\n

A few rounds of storms will sweep across the state today and some of these may be strong to severe. The Storm Prediction Center has a Slight Risk out for much of the region…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wind damage continues to be the main threat from any of these storms going up today or tonight. Here’s the full breakdown of the individual threats on the day…<\/p>\n

This unusual setup comes from an unusual pattern featuring low pressure spinning into the Ohio Valley over the next few days. This low drags a cold front across the region with wrap around showers even possible by early Tuesday…<\/p>\n

Below normal temps will be noted with along and behind this system.<\/p>\n

Two more systems are set to follow with a cold front that can bring more strong to severe storms in here late Wednesday and Thursday with another cold front by late next weekend…<\/p>\n

Look at the rainfall numbers over the next week and change from the Canadian and EURO…<\/p>\n

A pattern this active is not very common in early August but it’s what happens when the jet stream takes such big dips into the country.<\/p>\n

On a related note… The GFS is a really really bad model right now and has been most of the summer. It simply cannot see rain and thunderstorms because it’s too busy showing phantom heat waves. End of rant. 😎<\/p>\n

Here are your storm tracking tools for the day…<\/p>\n
