Big Changes Coming In Forecast

Don't get used to the quiet weather we saw to start the work week. Plenty of big changes are coming over the next 48 hours.

Storms will be possible overnight Monday and into the day Tuesday, but storms become likely Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. These storms have the potential for heavy rain and even severe weather. Futurecast has the bulk of these storms rolling through Wednesday morning with our next low pressure system.

The timing of these storms should help suppress the severe threat a little, but we'll still have to keep an eye out for a few stronger storms. Typically, severe weather is more likely during the afternoon when storms can feed off the heat and humidity of the day. Since our storms will be mainly at night or early in the morning, our severe chances are reduced. Tuesday's severe threat should stay mostly to our west. Wednesday's severe threat will be mainly to our south. If we do see severe storms, damaging winds will be the biggest concern.

Heavy rain will be the most likely problem with this next system. Models are indicating that a good 1.5"-2" of rain will be possible through Wednesday evening. If we do see severe storms, locally higher amounts will be possible.



After these storms move out, an incredibly chilly blast of air moves in for the rest of the week. Right now, Friday will be the worst of the cold with highs potentially not making it out of the 50s. -BA
