It was yet another warm and windy day across the viewing area. Later in the day clouds have returned as a cold front approaches from the west. This cold front is triggering showers and storms to our west and northwest with some of that possible in our area later tonight.
Tonight into Thursday is when that cold front is expected to move into the area. It is looking like that cold front will move through during the day on Thursday. This means that we may see some showers early and then more in the afternoon. We need the rain so hopefully we get it and we don't get stuck like we did on Sunday where we got a few light showers early and then the storms developed east of us. There is a slight risk for severe weather in the afternoon so we will watch the storms closely.
The big question everyone has is, what does the holiday weekend have in store? I wish I could tell you straight up exactly what is going to happen. For those with plans, it looks like we will see a few showers on Saturday. Timing is a bit in question right now, but it may end earlier in the day with a few more later in the day. Sunday looks to be pretty warm with the rain chances being just outside of our viewing area. Then Sunday inot Monday, that cold front will come through with another chance for some storms. Right now it looks like most of that rain will be before the temperatures rise. Because many people have plans, we will time it out and provide more detailed information as soon as we can. Since we need the rain, hopefully we can get the storms to come through during the night as to not impact many plans.
