Tracking a warm Tuesday & pm t-storms

As you head out the door this morning, temperatures are in the upper 60s to low 70s. It will be another warm day, with highs climbing into the upper 80s and low 90s. Partly cloudy conditions will persist throughout the day, along with strong southerly winds gusting into the 30s and 40s mph.

We’ll stay dry through the daytime hours, but after sunset and into the overnight period, strong thunderstorms are expected to move through the region. We are currently under a Level 2 risk, with damaging winds and hail as the primary threats.

Another round of thunderstorms is expected Wednesday afternoon and evening, with similar threats of wind and hail.

With several days of rain ahead and already saturated ground conditions, minor river flooding and localized flooding will be possible in the coming days.

Attention then turns to Friday, when we are under an elevated 30% risk (or an enhanced risk level 3/5). Storms are expected to develop by mid afternoon and continue into the evening and early overnight hours.

Temperatures will remain in the 80s through the rest of the workweek before cooler air returns this weekend, with highs dropping back into the 60s by Saturday and Sunday.
