Storm Safety Reminders

Showers and a few storms will continue to overspread area. Some storms may intensify and become severe. Main threats through Noon will be locally heavy rain and lightning. Stronger storms may develop north of I-80 this morning. Isolated small hail and strong winds up to 60 MPH are possible with any stronger storm.

Active weather will continue today with three rounds of showers and storms possible. The first round of showers and storms will develop west of the Mississippi early to mid morning. These are not expected to be severe, but small hail and gusty winds will be possible. A second round is likely late this morning through mid afternoon, with a potential for severe storms. Any severe storms will be capable of damaging winds, tornadoes, hail and heavy rain. Another round is possible this evening, but there is uncertainty on storm coverage, strength and location. Be sure to stay tuned today for updates!

Yet another chance (30-60%) for storms, including a few severe storms, comes Monday and Tuesday as we remain in an active pattern. While confidence in coverage and timing is low due to the cascading impacts of today’s storm potential, it appears likely that any severe storms will be capable of damaging winds, localized flash flooding, and an isolated tornado. Stay tuned for updates!

Heat and humidity will be on the increase Today. Heat index readings could top out around 100 degrees for some this afternoon into early evening, especially along and south of I-80 where a Heat Advisory has been issued. There is some uncertainty however, as thunderstorms and clouds could tamper down temperatures and peak heat indices. The dangerous heat could persist and expand northward over the next couple of days, so stay tuned for updates!

Do you have outdoor plans over the next several days? There is a chance for storms and some severe weather, so be sure to stay weather aware. Here are some safety tips and reminders to help stay safe.
