We are still looking at a chance for storms today and tomorrow. Today’s storms will be here and there and should remain pretty isolated. The storms tomorrow should be more widespread and a bit more potent, too.
The Storm Prediction Center continues to monitor the area with the potential for severe weather. Today the highest risk for storms will be to the northwest, while tomorrow the highest risk for severe weather will be plopped across our area.
The main concern with storms will be heavy rain, lightning, gusty wind, small hail and the potential for a few tornadoes. The main timeline for the strongest storms will be between about 11a on Tuesday and 11p on Tuesday. There is a chance that a few storms may linger around overnight, but right now the severe weather risk should be over by midnight. That means any lingering storm could be noisy, but wouldn’t pose a risk for tornadoes or wind gusts exceeding 60mph.
After all the riff-raff exits east, we dry out for a few days. Temperatures will be seasonable, too, so no big shot of cold and no major warm up expected.
