Discussion:
An area of high pressure will continue to bring us dry conditions through late Wednesday. Tuesday will be cooler with a warmer Wednesday as a warm front lifts north across the area. A cold front will arrive late Wednesday into Thursday. This will bring widespread showers and isolated thunderstorms to the area. We will have to monitor the severe weather threat on Thursday, but the timing of the storms look to move through in the morning – this will limit the severe weather threat. If the timing gets pushed more toward the afternoon and early evening then we will need to watch for an increased threat. Dry conditions return in wake of the cold front to close out the week.
Notes:
– Snow squalls brought near zero visibility to interstate 81 in Pennsylvania today. The snow and low visibility resulted in a pileup in Schuylkill County.
– Pollen counts remain very high the next few days.
– Numerous severe storms are expected across portions of LA, MS and AL. There is a level 3 of 5 for those areas on Wednesday. Damaging gusts and tornadoes are expected.
Tonight: Increasing clouds. Lows in the mid to upper 30s.
Tuesday: Partly sunny and below average temperatures. High temperatures only top out near 60 degrees.
Wednesday: Mostly cloudy, but much warmer. Some neighborhoods near 80 degrees with highs in the upper 70s. Scattered showers roll in overnight with winds increasing.
Thursday: Showers and storms. We will monitor the severe weather threat.
Have a wonderful week!
