Warm, Soggy Start to the Week


Southerly winds continue to pump in warm moist air today. An unsettled upper level weather pattern will lift that warm moist air and bring a chance of light rain and fog through the day. Temperatures will warm from the mid 40s this morning to the mid 50s this afternoon.


Light rain chances continue overnight, with a few possible thunderstorms as temperatures warm into early Tuesday. We'll see near record highs tomorrow afternoon reaching the mid 60s. A powerful cold front will move in Tuesday afternoon and spark up a line of strong to severe showers and thunderstorms. The southeastern half of our viewing area is under a slight risk of severe weather from the Storm Prediction Center. Large hail and damaging winds will be the primary threat.




Everyone will see a chance at heavy rainfall before chilly air behind the front mixes in some snow. We'll see precipitation end early Wednesday and temperatures dropping Wednesday afternoon. Highs on Thursday and Friday will only reach the upper teens and low 20s. A few flurries are possible next Saturday, but most of us will be cloudy with highs in the 30s into next week.
