Tuesday Afternoon Discussion

From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...

After a light frost across the area this morning, temperatures rebounded nicely into the middle to upper 60s areawide.

Get ready for warmer and unfortunately windier weather Wednesday. As an upper level system passes to our North, winds will increase to 15 to 20 miles per hour. The system will pull a cold front through our area Thursday. That front will cool temperatures down into the lower 60s Friday.

The system will destablize the atmosphere enough for a 20% chance of thunderstorms Friday. Saturday will bring us our best chance for showers and thunderstorms as the best upper level dynamics arrive into the area. Right now I'm forecasting a 40 to 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms for Saturday. There is a chance we could see some of these storms reach severe levels, but we will have to wait and see exactly how things pan out. For now, stay tuned...
