In tonight’s weekly update, we’ll talk a lot about Tuesday’s severe storm risks, the system in the Gulf and what it means for us, and the potential for lower humidity the end of this coming week. Be sure and tune in!

Bringing you your tailor-made local weather forecast since 2017!

MM says…Scattered shrs and storms continue to dominate the forecast. A front may bring severe storms on Tuesday but it also brings less humidity by Thursday!

MM’s Weather Worries

MM’s Wx Analysis

Unsettled weather remains in place in our neck of the woods, as high humidity and hot afternoons work together to produce scattered shrs and storms.

Canadian wildfire smoke will push into the Midwest, worsening air quality. A frontal system brings severe storms from the Northern Plains to the Mid‑Atlantic the next few days. Heavy Gulf Coast rain is possible as we closely monitor tropical development, while monsoonal storms persist in the Southwest with heavy rainfall. Hazardous heat expands from the Plains into the Lower Mississippi Valley.

The tropical system in the Gulf now has an 80% chance of becoming a tropical depression or low-end tropical storm. It now looks as if it will move more westward and impact coastal Lousiana, Alabama, and the panhandle of Florida. Guidance keeps it under 45 mph at its strongest.

Drought Conditions

Overall, much of the state improved with this update! Last week, 82% of our state was in drought. This week, only 55% of our state is in drought. That’s aa incredible improvement! Here on the plateau, results are mixed. Portions of our northern areas have been removed from drought, while other, including nearly all of Cumberland County, remain in severe drought.

Good evening, everyone! I just wanted to give you all a quick heads up concerning a couple of complexes of t-storms that may impact our area overnight. These may weaken with the setting sun and not be an issue at all. However, there are plenty of reasons why they should hold together. I’m not expecting anything severe at this time. The first complex should arrive around midnight, with the only one coming a couple hours later (if both hold together). I just don’t want you to be alarmed if you hear thunder and see lightning overnight. After sunset, those of you who enjoy watching lightning from a distance might look north and see some of that in the coming hours. If you can’t hear thunder, you’re safe to watch the lightning.

Sunday afternoon’s weather map does a good job showing what I’m expecting. More scattered showers and storms will cover the radar once again (70% chance). Be aware of this if you need to be out and about on Sunday. I’ll keep an eye on things and keep you all posted!

If the need arises, I’ll issue any special updates, as needed.

Otherwise, I’ll have a full forecast update in the morning. I’ll see ya then!

Scattered showers and storms are developing this afternoon to our northwest and are moving toward the plateau. These will contain dangerous lightning and heavy downpours that could lead to localized flash flooding. Be mindful of this if you have outdoor plans this afternoon. Have indoor back-up plans in place, especially if need to take shelter from a storm. These are scattered, so not everyone will see them. Just be ready in case you do. I’ll issue special updates, if needed. You all take care!

MM’s Wx Analysis

We continue to be entrenched in heat and humidity, which creates ideal conditions for scattered showers and storms, especially in the heat of the afternoon.

Wildfire smoke continues to impact air quality from the Great Lakes region into New England and the Mid-Atlantic today with widespread Air Quality Alerts in effect. Severe thunderstorms are expected across portions of the Ohio Valley and Lower Great Lakes into the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, this afternoon into the evening. Monsoonal thunderstorms may bring areas of flooding to the Southwest.
