Tuesday Afternoon Discussion

From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...

Isolated thunderstorms have fired up this afternoon thanks to our cooler air. With the moisture hanging around and a little upper level energy, Mother Nature was able to bring a few strong thunderstorms to the Eastern and Southern viewing area. These thunderstorms will continue through early evening, then I expect things to die off into the rest of the evening.

Overnight lows will bottom out into the middle to upper 40s areawide. Then climb back into the upper 60s to lower 70s Wednesday.

As we head into Thursday, our next system will approach from the West bring increased cloud cover at first, then possibly strong thunderstorms by Friday night.

Rain chance will begin overnight Thursday into Friday, and peak early Saturday morning at 60%. Large hail and damaging winds will be the main threat with storms from Thursday night through Saturday.

Sunday, we begin to clear out and warm up, back into the upper 70s to lower 80s by Monday and Tuesday.
