Good Friday, everyone. Our stormy setup is here and it looks to continue into the weekend and some of these storms will be strong or severe. This is being pushed by another blast of September temps coming from Sunday into next week.<\/p>\n

Our Friday is starting out with rounds of storms working from west to east. These storms will be very noisy and may put down local wind damage. These storms will also be big time rain-makers for those folks getting under then.<\/p>\n

As they work out of here by the afternoon, steamy sun shows up and that fires up additional thunderstorms and some of those may be strong to severe.<\/p>\n

The Storm Prediction Center has the entire region highlighted in today’s Severe Weather Outlook…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Saturday is another steamy day with scattered storms early on and then the increasing potential for late day strong to severe storms dropping in along our cold front.<\/p>\n

Here’s Saturday’s Severe Weather Outlook from the Storm Prediction Center…<\/p>\n

\"Random<\/p>\n

In addition to the severe weather threat, torrential rainfall may cause some local high water issues.<\/p>\n

As our low pressure winds up to our northeast, a northwest wind flow sets up behind this and brings showers and a few storms in here Sunday into Monday. This animation from the Euro goes from Saturday morning through Monday evening…<\/p>\n

Sunday’s highs may not get out of the 70s and that’s a trend that may take us into the first half of next week. The models all agree on another big blast of below normal temps and you can see those on this animation from Sunday morning through Thursday morning…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lows by Tuesday morning are deep into the 50s with the chance for some upper 40s to show up in the east…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Similar lows show up on Wednesday…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These below normal temps are the theme of August, so far. Look at the numbers for the first half of the month…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As a matter of fact, temps have been normal to below normal on average since July 1st…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This has been a really tame temperature summer and it looks to stay that way for the closing few weeks.<\/p>\n

As usual, I have all your tracking toys to follow today’s strong to severe storms\u2026<\/p>\n
