Welcome to Summer! But before we get there, we have some storms this morning to deal with. Her eis a look at the radar over on the app (as of this writing at 445a). These storms look to slowly fall apart as they move toward the east. But they won’t be gone by the time the push through the whole area, so be on the lookout for rain this morning.
A brief timeline would be near I-55 around 630a, along the I-59 corridor around 8a, and then into Alabama by 10a.
The Storm Prediction Center has the area under a Marginal Risk for severe weather as it passes. That is a “1” on the 1-to-5 scale where a “5” is the highest risk for the more significant severe weather.
Once these clear out, we should see the sun for a few hours before a few more storms try to re-develop. AGain, nothing to terribly potent, but there will be some rain, thunder, lightning, and gusty wind possible.
Then things should calm down overnight.
But we will hold on to a chance for storms through the weekend and into next week.
