SEVERE WEATHER UPDATE - 5/16 2:45PM CDT (Risk 2 of 5) 🟨
We need a break and we know you all need a break, but we have to get through Friday and Saturday first!

There are expected to be multiple rounds of rain between Friday and Saturday and concerns for possible flooding are increasing. The first round of rain appears to be non-severe and will be around the time the morning commute starts.

Round #2: This round is focused on the late afternoon into the evening hours for the western portion of the area and then into the early hours on Saturday for the eastern portion. This is expected to be an MCS (Mesoscale Convective System) even. The severe risk isn't as prevalent as last weeks storms, but there are still a few risk. The continuation of flooding is a possibility along with wind gust up to 60mph, isolated areas of hail, and a brief tornado (cannot be ruled out).

Round 3: Confidence in this round is very low, it will all depend on how stable the atmosphere is after round 2. However, a system is expected to move through on Saturday. While the timing is also uncertain, a line of thunderstorms is expected to enter the west side around 5-6am Saturday morning and be east of Jefferson County by early afternoon. Uncertainty remains on the risk for Saturday but we will continue monitoring for the latest updates.

A mid level disturbance is making itself known. A low level boundary paired with unstable air close to the surface will provide ingredients for strong storms to form now until late this evening. Confidence in the severity of the storms is very low, but the main threats could be isolated areas of damaging wind and hail.

ROUND 3 Storms - 7:15AM CDT There is a strong line of thunderstorms developing to the north. These storms could become strong enough to warrant a severe thunderstorm warning.

8:30PM CDT-The radar is pretty quiet for our area. Storms are still well to the north. We are not anticipating it to stay this way. Closer to midnight and especially after midnight numerous storms are expected to quickly develop. There is a possibility for this system to turn into a squall line and bow out creating the risk for significant damaging winds with isolated areas reach up to 80mph. Before you go to bed, make sure you have a way to receive warnings!

Afternoon T-Storms 5/1

It’s starting to look like summer with these afternoon pop up t-storms!

RADAR UPDATE 12:36 ⛈️ Showers and thunderstorms are moving through the areas. These storms are expected to remain below severe limits. High temperatures will continue to be in the low 80s except directly on the coastline where temperatures will only reach upper 70s.

Afternoon Thunderstorm Season Begins

Cue afternoon showered and thunderstorm season ⛈️ Yep you read that right. The high pressure in the Atlantic is what fuels our daily afternoon thunderstorms in the summer. This year it’s making its way closer just a little bit earlier. Today is quite windy so you probably won’t see any development along the coast. 5-10 miles north of the coast appears to be the sweet spot for development.

SATELLITE 4/15

A large area of high pressure is hanging over the region. This will likely keep our weather dry and warm for the rest of the week.

RADAR UPDATE 12:15AM Showers and thunderstorms are entering the area from the SW. all storms are still below the severe limits but we are monitoring because it’s certainly a decent environment to aggravate these storms.
