Isolated Strong To Severe Storms Late PM/Evening

Cooling off this Week

Monday's Isolated Severe Weather Event

There is a marginal to slight (level 1/2 out of 5) risk for severe storms late this afternoon/evening. Low level moisture is limited, so storm initiation may not occur until 4-6 PM. The primary risks are damaging winds and hail late this afternoon and evening.

Thunderstorms are possible tonight, especially along and south of Interstate 80. Gusty winds are the main threat with these possible storms. Otherwise, we’ll see cool weather for the rest of the work week, with highs mainly in the 50s both Tuesday and Wednesday.

From late afternoon into early Monday evening, numerous high base thunderstorms occurred south of U.S. Highway 30. As rain evaporated when falling (or in some cases small hail sublimated), the air cooled and became dense, rushing to the ground causing localized strong wind gusts. Here is some more info on that. Let us know if you had any wind damage or hail of note!
