FORECAST DISCUSSION:

Good Monday Evening, We are watching as showers and storms are moving through our area this evening. The biggest threat to our area will mainly be along and south of US-22 where a SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH is in effect until 9pm.

In this area, we could have some storms, especially early, that could produce some strong gusty winds and small hail. The Storm Prediction Center has increased the threat in the SE part of the state to an “enhanced threat” with damaging winds and a possible spin up tornado as the threat in that part of the state.

After sunset, the storm threat should move east, but we could have some lingering showers until before midnight when the front crosses, and then clearing skies late. Overnight lows will be in the lower to middle 60s.

Tuesday will see clearing skies through the day with a lot less humidity and highs back in the lower 80s. We will see mostly clear skies Tuesday night with lows near normal in the middle 60s.

Wednesday will be a hotter day with highs into the upper 80s with ample sunshine and a few late day pop-up storms. Thursday and Friday will be quite warm and sunny with highs in the upper 80s with humidity increasing.

There should be some areas in the south that push into the lower 90s by the end of the work week. As we head into the weekend, a stalled frontal boundary to the north might be enough to keep some late day pop-ups in the forecast on Saturday, and a better chance late on Sunday as the front drops south.

This will give us a nice start to next work week with highs in the middle 80s with partly cloudy skies by next Monday.
