Slight Risk of Severe Weather Saturday

Conditional Thunderstorm Setup and "The Cap"

Heating Up Part 1

Heating Up Part 2

Isolated to scattered severe storms will be possible beginning Saturday evening through early Sunday morning. Should storms form, large hail up to 2" in diameter and damaging wind gusts of 60-70 mph will be the main hazards. Can't rule out a tornado either.

Saturday's severe risk is a conditional setup, meaning that storms may not form in the first place. Storms that do manage to form will likely turn severe, but will be limited by a "cap", or a layer of warm air above the surface. Please see the graphic for more information on the setup in place.

Through the weekend and into next week, a warming trend will take place. Highs reach the low to mid 90s early next week, continuing to climb to the mid to upper 90s by the end of next week.

Above normal heat will result in mainly moderate to major Heat Risk levels Sunday through the week. This level of heat will impact anyone without adequate cooling or hydration.
