Severe Weather and Flooding Threat: Tuesday

Severe Weather and Flooding Potential Wednesday

Storm Planning: What to do?

Multiple rounds of thunderstorms will be possible into tonight.

There is higher confidence in multiple rounds of thunderstorms and heavy rainfall throughout the entire day on Tuesday. The main threats in stronger storms would be intense damaging wind gusts and torrential rainfall, leading to rapid flooding problems. An isolated tornado cannot be ruled out with storms. Now is the time to plan for severe weather and flooding! Make sure you and your family know what to do if severe weather strikes.

Severe thunderstorms are again possible on Wednesday, primarily south of I-70, though the severe threat will be diminished compared to Tuesday. However, with storms continuing to move through, heavy rainfall is again a concern and already saturated soils will be slow to drain any additional water. Have a plan in place if you live in a flood prone region!

With multiple rounds of thunderstorms expected over the coming days, now is the time to plan and prepare. Be sure that you and your family know where your shelter location is if you experience a severe thunderstorm. Additionally, have a plan in place if you live in a flood prone area, as rounds of heavy rain are also expected. https://www.weather.gov/safety/thunderstorm and https://www.weather.gov/safety/flood are good websites to check out when planning for active weather.
