A cooler & breezy Tuesday; Still monitoring late week severe threat

SUMMARY: We’ll remain mostly sunny & quiet heading into the middle part of the work week. We’re still tracking more rain and thunderstorm activity late Friday night into Saturday. Some of these storms will be strong to severe, with all modes of severe weather possible.  Timing still remains a bit uncertain so stay tuned to WCBI as we’ll keep you updated as we near the event.

TUESDAY: Lots of sunshine returns to the area. Highs will be cooler but near average in the mid to upper 50s with breezy NW wind 10-20 mph.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cleat skies. Overnight lows in the lower 30s. WNW light then calm wind.

WEDNESDAY: Another quiet & sunny day with highs near 60 with a light SE wind. Clear skies Wednesday night with lows in the upper 30s.

THURSDAY: Clouds will increase on Thursday as our next storm system approaches. Highs will be in the lower 60s. Overnight lows in the 50s. A breezy SE wind picking up 10-15 mph.

FRIDAY-SATURDAY: Another strong storm system & cold front will approach the area from our west on Friday. Showers and thunderstorms could start as early as Friday afternoon. A few stronger storms can’t be ruled out, but odds are much better into the ArkLaTex region during the day into the night on Friday. The best chances for storms is looking more to be on Saturday. A few of these storms could be strong to severe. The potential is there for more heavy rain, damaging winds and an isolated tornado. Showers and thunderstorms will also have the potential to produce very heavy rain so flooding is once again looking to be a big concern. We’ll continue to monitor and revise the forecast throughout the rest of the work week, but for now…plan accordingly. Highs will be near 70 on Friday then cooling down to the upper 60s by Saturday.

SUNDAY: With our storm system having exited the area, we’ll see a mix of sun and clouds. Cooler temperatures with highs in the upper 50s to lower 60s.

MONDAY – TUESDAY: Another system looks to move into the area bringing more chances of showers and storms. Something else we’ll need to watch. Highs in the lower 60s.
