Friday Blog: Thunderstorms return today! -Doug

Hey guys and gals.  I hope your week has been great so far and you are staying somewhat cool.  It has been so hot and humid for May or really any month.  We have set record highs the past two days.  Still mid 80s today, but we will have clouds and scattered showers and thunderstorms this morning that will keep us just a hair cooler for Friday.

I don’t expect these morning storms to be severe, but a few of them could be a little stronger.  These will die during the morning as they push to the state line of KS and MO.  We will start to clear out during the afternoon, but by late afternoon and evening, a few random pop up storms will pop up.  There is a low chance these could go into a complex and push through, but most likely as of me typing these will stay very widely scattered.

These random storms will pop up.  Now the ones that do pop up could be strong to low grade severe.

 

So we do have a low severe threat.  The main threat will be wind and hail and a very low tornado threat.  This is something I will keep my eyes on.  Any storms that do pop up will work through and Saturday looks great.  However, another complex of storms could push through Saturday night also could be strong to severe.  Here is the long range planner for possible severe weather.  Remember, just because you don’t see a lot of moderate or high risks, this doesn’t mean as we get closer the threats can’t go up.

 

Long range forecast is below.
