Summer Is HERE This Week

Memorial Day may have been only the "traditional" start to summer, but it's going to feel like summer this week, with highs in the upper 80s to near 90 and lows in the mid to upper 60s!  We'll also have a 20 to 40% chance of "pop up" thunderstorms each day. Probably the best days for storms will be Thursday into Friday as low pressure slowly slides toward the region. We are not expecting a decent chance of widespread severe storms at this time, but in this environment, the storms usually can produce lots of lightning, some hail, and if they are slow moving, heavy rainfall amounts.

Meteorological summer begins June 1st (along with the start of "hurricane season.") and the Summer Solstice is June 21st at 5:51AM.  June 21st is the longest day of the year!

Possible Severe Storms Friday!

We're watching the possibility of Severe Storms this Friday afternoon and evening, with instability ahead of an approaching cold front. The cold front shouldn't make it through our area, but the instability could trigger some severe storms Friday afternoon and night, with the main threat being large hail and high winds.

Rainfall totals during the period Thursday night through Monday night could total up to 1 to 1.5".  We could also seen an additional 1-2 inches locally Monday night through Wednesday night, so be aware of that!

This Week's Forecast: A Tale Of Two Weathers...

We'll have two distinctly different weather forecasts this week!  Monday through Thursday, look for plenty of sunshine and highs in the 80s.  It'll feel a lot like summer! Then Thursday night a system pulls closer giving us a chance of showers and storms, and continuing through Sunday!

Along the way, late week on, we could receive 2.5 to 3 plus inches of rain locally, so while severe storms aren't as big of a concern, heavy rain and possible localized flooding could be!  Stay watchful!
