Stormy Week Ahead

We've seen a few stormy days as of late, and this week looks to have at least two more days of storm weather for the state. The first chance of storms will come into the picture late Monday, more likely on Tuesday as a front passes over the state. Although a few showers/thunderstorms may linger into Wednesday, another good chance of thunderstorms will come into the state on Thursday! Currently the severe weather threat for both of these thunderstorm days is questionable, with Tuesday's event being before we get ample moisture return combined with the lack of good directional shear. Thursday may be more of a severe weather day, but it is still too far out to really pinpoint any specific risks and locations.

Other than the thunderstorm chances, it finally will feel like we are getting into summer with temperatures holding steady in the 60s and 70s across the state. Monday's highs in the low to mid 70s across the state; overnight lows in the upper 40s to mid 50s from east to west. Tuesday high temperatures should also range from near 70 to the mid 70s across the state, expect some clouds and thunderstorms to limit the highs in localized areas. Overnight lows from near 50 to the mid 50s are forecasted, once again showers/thunderstorms will fluctuate temperatures under heavy cloud cover. We'll slowly clear out on Wednesday from west to east, and high temperatures will reflect this as they range from the upper 60s in the east to the mid 70s in the west. This front won't effect temperatures greatly, overnight lows in the mid 40s to mid 50s from northwest to southeast. More details on the Tuesday thunderstorms and the latter half of the week's forecast in later updates.
