Key Message 1…
A more active weather pattern will impact us this week with chances for severe weather Monday and Tuesday. The WPC has put us in a Slight Risk (level 2 out of 4 ) for excessive rainfall and the SPC has put us in a Slight Risk (level 2 out of 5) for severe weather for both of these days. Some storms will have a chance for damaging wind gusts due to high instability. There is uncertainty in the exact timing of this weeks showers and thunderstorms though most are forecasted to occur during the morning hours. An afternoon shower or thunderstorm is not improbable though due to stronger support in the upper levels and strong northwesterly flow of moisture due to warm air advection. Low-lying or flood prone areas will be especially susceptible to flooding issues even though our flood risk is typical for this time of year.
