Mostly Sunny Today, Severe Storms Possible Tomorrow

Current Surface Map
High pressure will control our weather today, bringing another mostly sunny day with temperatures in the upper 80s to near 90.

An area of low pressure will approach tomorrow and bring a cold front through the area on Wednesday. This will provide a focus for thunderstorm development tomorrow. Scattered thunderstorms are expected and some of these storms could become severe with damaging winds, large hail and even tornadoes. Highs will be in the upper 80s.

Severe weather day

Current Surface Map
Today is the first day of Meteorological Summer and to mark the occasion, it looks like we will be dealing with a rather widespread severe weather event.

A warm front is currently working it’s way through the state, allowing moisture and warmer temperatures to stream northward. This feature, combined with a cold front approaching from the west will provide the forcing necessary for shower and thunderstorm development.

At this time, it appears enough instability and lift will be present for some of these storms to become severe and produce damaging winds, large hail, torrential rain and possibly tornadoes.
