Isolated Strong To Severe Storms Late PM/Evening

Warm Then Cooler

Elevated Fire Risk Today

PM Scattered Thunderstorm Timing

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.

A windy and warm Monday will be seen across the area along with a risk of isolated strong to severe storms late this afternoon/evening. Once the cold front moves through the area, much cooler conditions will be seen the rest of the work week. A slight warm-up is expected next weekend.

Winds gusting up to 30 mph combined with warm temperatures and low humidity levels will create an elevated fire risk today. Humidity levels of 25 to 35 percent will be seen this afternoon in spite of the recent green up. Avoid or delay any burning today.

A cold front passing through the area this afternoon/evening will bring through scattered showers/storms and gusty winds. These will develop mid afternoon in our northwest, tracking southeast through the area through the evening.
