STORMS EXPECTED WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY

FROM KRBC CHIEF METEOROLOGIST RANDY TURNER ..


THUNDERSTORMS, SOME POSSIBLY SEVERE, ARE BACK IN THE FORECAST AND COULD START AS EARLY AS WEDNESDAY MORNING ACROSS THE KRBC VIEWING AREA.

WE HAVE SEVERAL FACTORS TO CONSIDER. FIRST IS THE ABUNDANCE OF MOISTURE WHICH WILL RETURN TO THE REGION TONIGHT. THE COLD FRONT WHICH PASSED THROUGH THE AREA TODAY WILL RETURN NORTH AS A WARM FRONT WEDNESDAY, ANOTHER FOCUS FOR STORMS. COMBINE A DRY LINE PUSHING IN FROM THE WEST AND AN UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE AREA FROM THE WEST AND THE STAGE IS SET FOR POTENTIAL RAPID STORM DEVELOPMENT ANYTIME FROM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT, PROBABLY SEVERAL ROUNDS OF STORMS BY THE TIME IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE.

THE STORMS WILL POTENTIALLY PRODUCE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND AND COULD ALSO SPIN UP A TORNADO OR TWO.
RANDY'S FORECAST - LET'S PLAN ON A FEW STORMS TO BE UNDERWAY TOMORROW MORNING FOLLOWED BY A BREAK DURING THE MID-DAY THEN A REKINDLING OF STORMS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT. I DON'T THINK WE'LL SEE THE END OF THE STORMY WEATHER UNTIL MID-DAY THURSDAY. WATCH KRBC FOR POSSIBLE WATCHES AND WARNINGS.

LOW TONIGHT - 53 UNDER CLOUDY SKIES AND STORMS POSSIBLE BY MORNING.
HIGH TOMORROW - 77 WITH SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS, SOME SEVERE.
LOW WEDNESDAY NIGHT 54 WITH THUNDERSTORMS LIKELY, SOME SEVERE.
