Severe Weather Chances

Severe weather could be paying us all a visit on Thursday night.

In my last post I mentioned that we could see some severe weather Thursday night going into Friday. In my Tuesday post the Slight Risk just included a few of our counties... now it includes everyone. I expected this and now we prepare for what may come.

Risk Area

Probabilistic Outlook

So there you see the highlighted areas.

I know many folks immediately think... "Oh NO! Another March 2nd" Not the case at all. The set-up for that event was much more intense and tornadic activity was pretty much destined to happen here. This time we are looking at general strong to severe thunderstorms. Yes... some could be tornadic... but that's not where I am focusing all of my energy.

After we get past all this crazy severe weather talk... the pattern flattens out a bit. We could actually see some very cool temps for the first weekend of June. It looks like highs could have a hard time getting out of the upper 60s on Saturday. Some very pleasant weather!

C-Ya bye
