Severe Storms May Threaten the Area Wednesday

As we are now about 72 hours from our next severe weather threat, I wanted to give you an update on the latest. A powerful storm system will move across the country this week. By Wednesday, that system will impact our region. As with all strong cold fronts this time of year, this one will need to be watched closely. Is it certain we’ll see severe weather? No. But this is a good time to review your severe weather safety plan and think about your plans for Wednesday afternoon and evening.
In the wake of the Wednesday front, we’ll be MUCH colder. In fact, we could see snow flurries Thursday morning. Friday morning will bring widespread frost.
All threats currently look to be on the table Wednesday. Today’s guidance looks better than yesterday’s did, so we’ll hope that trend continues. I’m currently not too impressed with the wind fields. Yes, there’s a lot of shear, but I’ve seen situations like these where there was too much shear. I also have questions about a Wednesday morning batch of rain and t-showers that could stabilize our environment and really help us out. That’s a story as old as time, right? ha If we get more clouds and showers…we will be in much better shape.
So, let’s say I have a concern that spans from 1-5, with 5 being the most concerned. Yesterday, I would have said my level of concern for Wednesday was 4. Today, I would say it’s barely a 3. Again, let’s hope that the data that comes in tomorrow and Tuesday continues to look good for us and I can continue to lower my concern.
So, there’s still much to watch between now and Wednesday and hopefully additional guidance in the coming days lowers the concern. Still, with such a potent cold front coming through it would be surprising if we escape without a single severe storm on the plateau. And if that one storm is over your neighborhood, that’s the only one that matters.
I’ll keep a very close eye on things and have a full update in the morning! You all have a nice Sunday evening!
