Showers and T-Storms Today



Frequent periods of showers and thunderstorms will affect the region today. Showers with a few thunderstorms are already moving in from the west along our nearly stationary cold front... which will eventually become a warm front and lift northward.

There will be quite a contrast from north to south today as the front will set up a dividing line. With the eventual warm front close to the warm sector and these waves riding along them, some strong to severe thunderstorms, isolated in nature, have the chance to form immediately south of the front while areas along and north of it will just see general showers and thunderstorms. 0.25" to 0.50"+ of rain appears likely still for the region with some localized higher amounts in thunderstorms.

Tonight I will discuss the potential for severe thunderstorms on Wednesday. The Storm Prediction Center has placed our area under a slight risk for severe thunderstorms on Wednesday.
