THE WEEK AHEAD...
The week ahead is filled with a little of everything. We’ll start off on the warm side cresting better than 85 degrees in many locations on Monday, but, by Tuesday a fair amount of moisture looks to make it back into the area on south southwesterly winds setting the stage for the possibility of some strong afternoon thunderstorms as a cold front passes through.
On the severe weather note and threat for Tuesday, forecasted cape values are high and dewpoints are better than 60 in the River Valley. The cold front will provide the necessary lift. Timing will be key and just how much sunshine we receive will largely dictate the severity of the storms. Hail, gusty winds will be the primary threat, though an isolated tornado can’t be ruled out. We’ll cool down quite substantially after this, with several days of temps slightly below seasonal averages.
A secondary shot of cold air looks to slide in on northwesterly flow for Thursday. At this point it does not appear to have a great amount of moisture with it, though temps look to flirt around the freezing mark in northern locations come Friday and Saturday morning. Make sure to protect those sensitive plants.
Have a great week!
