We are staring down a gorgeous Monday forecast but let this be your 9 First Warning, severe storms will be possible on Tuesday.
For Monday, we’ll see a few more clouds developing later this afternoon. Temperatures will top out in the low 70s and the day is dry, it’s truly a weather-win on a Monday.
Tuesday comes with two possible rounds of showers and thunderstorms but it’s the later round that could be severe. The first round of rain comes through between 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. This is our warm front lifting. This morning round of rain will greatly impact how much energy we can build back up to fuel afternoon showers and thunderstorms. But if we get a decent break in rain from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., this should be enough fuel to fire up afternoon showers and thunderstorms, potentially turning severe.
The afternoon showers and storms will pop around 3 p.m. and form a broken line of storms as they move east. The best chance for this would be around the I-71 corridor and to the east. This lines up with the “slight risk” of severe weather place over that region by the Storm Prediction Center. Our severe weather threats include damaging wind gusts, large hail and a low end tornado threat. Storms should be ending by 9 to 10 p.m. and then we dry out overnight.
