Isolated T-Storms This Evening Far North – Bill Graul

Tonight’s Forecast Low: 53F / Thursday’s Forecast High: 79F…

A disturbance and cold front is sparking a narrow line of t-storms in far northern parts of our viewing area this evening. These storms should clear our area by about 10 p.m. Most of our area will remain dry with partly cloudy skies and seasonable temps overnight.

Wednesday Night Forecast

ALERT DAY THURSDAY afternoon & night: Mix of sun and clouds Thursday, with warmer highs in the 70s to near 80F. Another disturbance and frontal boundary will bring a good chance of storms later in the afternoon and into Thursday night. Some of these storms could be strong to severe and the SPC has our area in a Level 2 to Level 3 Risk for severe storms. The local timing looks to be after about 4 or 5 p.m. with large hail and strong winds the main threats. An isolated tornado cannot be fully ruled out, and the storms could produce pockets of locally heavy rainfall.

A few showers could linger into Friday morning, but much of the day looks dry. It will be a bit cooler with highs in the 65-70F range. Mostly cloudy and cooler Saturday with a chance of showers. Highs only in the 50s for most. Dry Sunday with highs in the low 60s.

Looking Ahead… Partly sunny and dry Monday, then low-end rain chances Tuesday and Wednesday. Highs will be in the mid-upper 60s. Partly sunny and a bit warmer next Thursday with highs in the low 70s.

Have a good night and be sure to stay extra weather aware Thursday afternoon and night. -Bill Graul
