No major changes to the forecast this morning, but we are starting to get a better idea about how things are going to chaske out as we move through the end of the week and into next week.
It looks like we will have multiple rounds of showers and storms as we move from Thursday night through Monday morning. Each round will have the chance to produce strong storms with a few shots for some severe weather, too.
Here is an animation of the handful of weather systems set to blow through during the next 10 days
While I recognize the animation moves quickly and it is tough to see – specifically – when the rain my pass over any one given point, I think one take-away here is that it wont be a total washout and there will be breaks here and there between any rain.
Also, I don’t think we will have a chance for tornadoes with each round of storms, but I think there will be windows in there where it is more likely than other times. It looks like Thursday evening and Sunday morning may feature the highest risk for tornadoes while FRiday and Saturday may feature better shot for hail and strong wind.
But things are still open for some shifting. So please continue to keep up with the weather forecast int eh coming days.
