A Return to Rain

Monday:
A few storms could bubble up before lunch and hang around through the afternoon. They’ll be hit‑or‑miss—so you might stay dry, or you might catch a quick downpour with small hail. Keep the umbrella and the radar handy, just in case. No big tornado vibes here, but gusty winds could knock small limbs around. read more

All Modes of Severe Weather Possible Friday

Today will be hot and (probably) dry. Very, very, very low chance of storms thanks to a “cap” in place – which is just a layer of warm, stable air aloft. Highs near 90°.

Friday morning we could see some showers/storms move thru, most likely between 3a – 9a. Gusty winds, small hail and lightning not out of the question with these. Allowing some extra time for the AM commute not a bad idea. read more

Severe Storms Possible Friday.

  1. Scattered showers possible this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon. Lightning and rainouts the only hazards. Storm coverage should be limited Weds afternoon. Thursday probably dry, but hot.
  2. Summertime humid airmass expected Thu and Fri. Dewpoints in the mid 60s. First real one of the szn.

3. Severe weather possible Friday.

  • SPC gave us a 15% probability of a severe weather event within 25 miles of any point in that yellow.
  • Timing remains unclear. Best guess is a line Friday afternoon/evening. Uncertainties include whether there’ll be morning storms that reduce the storm fuel for later in the day.
  • Damaging straight line winds and large hail are the most likely of any hazards. If we are quiet Friday morning and get this event in the afternoon/evening, lightningstorms will develop, waterloaded, putting weekend ball games in jeopardy. Not again, sigh.
  • Tornado not impossible, but this doesn’t look like a tornadic event at the moment.
  • An unstable airmass should remain throughout the weekend, scattering downpours and lightningstorms across the region.
