Outlook Through Noon

Flash Flood Threat Today

Isolated Severe Storms Possible Tuesday

Heat and Humidity Build Around Midweek

Increasing Potential For Severe Weather Midweek

[9:30 A.M. Monday, June 8] It’s another day of soaking rainfall from any showers, even those without lightning. Through this morning, we are especially keeping an eye on this dark green area where localized minor flooding, especially in fields and low-lying roads, will likely be seen. Otherwise, scattered showers and probably some spotty thunderstorms will develop across the rest of the area by early afternoon. A Flood Watch is in effect area-wide through the daytime hours.

After several rounds of heavy rain on Sunday, additional showers and storms are expected through this evening. Abundant moisture and slow movement means that extended periods of heavy rain will occur, leading to localized flash flooding.

Isolated severe storms with large hail and damaging winds are possible on Tuesday. There are two main windows for this potential. The first is from 3 P.M. to 8 P.M. However, a layer of warm air aloft lends to uncertainty with both storm development and coverage during the late afternoon and evening. A second opportunity for isolated severe weather is 10 P.M. to 4 A.M. for storms potentially moving into parts of the area with a wind threat while slowly weakening. Stay tuned for updates!

A period of hot and humid conditions is likely Tuesday and Wednesday. Heat index readings could be around or over 100 degrees. There will also be a chance for storms later Tuesday night that will bring some uncertainty in the temperature forecast for Wednesday, so stay tuned for updates regarding this potential period of very hot weather.

A cold front plowing into a very unstable airmass will set the stage for scattered to numerous severe thunderstorms during the late afternoon and evening on Wednesday. Large hail, damaging winds and tornadoes are all possible. Be sure to stay tuned to the forecast for updates!
