Forecast Discussion

It has certainly been a toasty week for April so far, but the end of the week will see a much needed shift in the weather. While tonight will not be very eventful, a potent system that is currently causing trouble in a large swath from the upper Midwest all the way to Oklahoma is headed our way, and looks like it will arrive tomorrow (Saturday) afternoon.

Seeing this, the National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center in Norman Oklahoma has issued a level 2 out of 5 Slight Risk for Severe Weather for tomorrow. This risk is mostly driven by straight line damaging winds and to a lesser extent hail, although an isolated tornado or two is not impossible. These storms will likely take the shape of a line moving east to northeast, and will be driven by a powerful cold front.

The aforementioned cold front will plunge low temperatures down dramatically, with it potentially getting down below 40 degrees on Saturday night, and while Sunday will be mostly sunny with no more rain, highs will struggle to reach 60 degrees.

The beginning of the work week also looks cooler than it has been, but there is no evidence of more major systems coming through for at least a few days after Saturday’s commotion. But as always, keep coming back for your weather fix.
