NOW, ONCE THAT BURNS OFF EIGHT 9:00 BY LUNCHTIME WE’LL START TO SEE CLOUDS MOVING IN.

TODAY. IT’S STILL KIND OF DAMP IN SPOTS, BUT WE’LL CLEAR UP AND THEN WE’LL TURN TO OUR NEXT STORM SYSTEM, OUR NEXT STRONG FRONT, WHICH ARRIVES WEDNESDAY NIGHT. AND SO WE’VE GOT WEDNESDAY NIGHT TO THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING AS IMPACT DAYS. THAT’S GOING TO BE THE TIME FRAME RIGHT NOW WITH RAIN AND SOME STORMS LIKELY. THERE IS A LIMITED SEVERE RISK WITH WIND, STRONG DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND HAIL BEING THE MAIN HAZARDS. BUT AN ISOLATED TORNADO IS POSSIBLE DURING THIS TIME FRAME TOO.

OUR SUNNY AND DRY WEATHER EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND WILL LIKELY CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT WEEK. WE JUST DON’T HAVE MUCH IN THE WAY OF RAIN IN THE FORECAST FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. STILL SOME COOL MORNINGS, BUT WE’RE GOING TO BE WARMING UP A LITTLE BIT DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS, ESPECIALLY AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND, AND THEN WE GET A BIG TIME COLD FRONT THROUGH HERE EARLY NEXT WEEK ON MONDAY. THAT’S GOING TO DROP OUR TEMPERATURES TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
