Once they did, the tornado threat lessened, leaving damaging winds as the biggest concern. All in all, Tuesday's severe weather event accounted for 17 tornado reports (mainly in Iowa), 69 damaging wind reports, and 35 large hail reports.
Thankfully, severe weather is not on the table today as this storm system continues to slowly spiral to the north and east of the region.
Portions of the Midwest and the Ohio Valley/lower Great Lakes have the best chance for strong to severe storms. But that doesn't mean we escape the clouds and the chance for a few lingering showers.
Shower chances will be best before midday, through the chance for a spotty shower or two will linger into the mid-afternoon hours. That, along with a rather gusty wind (up to 40 mph) out of the west will keep temperatures steady in the mid 60s.
Cloud cover and winds will decrease this evening, leaving us with quiet conditions into Thursday. But as quick as the clouds were to leave, we can expect them to gather up quickly tomorrow morning as our next system slides in from the west.
Thursday is going to be the day where you'll have to have the umbrella with you from start to finish. Rain will move through in a scattered fashion, leaving behind .10" to .25" for most.
From Friday on, we'll see less rain chances and more opportunities for sunshine. High temperatures do cool into the low 50s Saturday before climbing back into the low 60s for early next week.
