Impact Day: Strong Storm Chance (2024)

TURNING TO YOUR WEATHER RIGHT NOW. IT IS AN IMPACT DAY WITH ANOTHER CHANCE OF SOME PRETTY STRONG STORMS. YEAH, WE DO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF THOSE SHOWERS AND STORMS RIGHT NOW AS WE SPEAK. AND THEN LATER IN THE AFTERNOON WE’VE GOT A SECOND ROUND MOVING IN HERE. HERE’S A TIMELINE AS WE HEAD INTO THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS FROM RIGHT NOW UNTIL ABOUT 7:00, WE’VE GOT THIS BROKEN LINE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS WORKING ITS WAY IN HERE FROM THE CENTRAL PART OF THE STATE, AND THEN WE HAVE SOME DRY HOURS. SO FROM THE MID MORNING ALL THE WAY INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON, SUNNY, HOT AND HUMID, THAT’S WHEN THE TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO REALLY CRANK UP TO NEAR 90 DEGREES. AND THEN WITH ALL THAT HOT AND HUMID WEATHER, WITH A COLD FRONT THAT WILL SPARK OFF SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DURING THIS TIME. 2 TO 8:00. THAT’S WHERE WE HAVE THAT GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR SOME STRONG AND SEVERE WEATHER. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT AS YOU MOVE INTO TONIGHT, THAT COLD FRONT MOVES DOWN TO THE SOUTH. COOLER WEATHER, DRY WEATHER, AND A WRAPPING UP THE WORKWEEK WHILE A SEVERE THREAT ALONG THE STATE LINE. THAT’S THE BETTER OPPORTUNITY TO SEE SOME STRONGER AND SEVERE STORMS FURTHER UP TO THE NORTH. A LITTLE BIT LESS. BUT WE’RE EXPECTING TO HAVE SOME OF THOSE THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP NEAR I-94 AND POINTS SOUTHWARD THIS AFTERNOON. THAT’S THE SECOND ROUND. THE FIRST ROUND IS RIGHT NOW, AND THIS IS THE DECAYING LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS THAT WAS IMPACTING DEVELOPING ACROSS NORTHEAST MINNESOTA LATE LAST NIGHT THERE WAS A TORNADO WARNING, SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS. THANKFULLY, NO WARNINGS, NOTHING AT ALL WITH THIS LINE AT THE MOMENT, BUT WE’RE PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE SOME BRIEF AND HEAVY DOWNPOURS RIGHT NOW. THE AREA THAT’S SEEING THE MOST AMOUNT OF RAIN IS A LITTLE BIT UP TO THE NORTH. NORTH OF 94 DODGE COUNTY FOND DU LAC, SHEBOYGAN. SO PLYMOUTH GETTING A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN. WE’VE GOT WEAPON UNDER SOME MODERATE SHOWERS. I CONSIDER THIS ALMOST LIKE THUNDER SHOWERS BECAUSE IT’S MOSTLY SOME STEADY RAIN WITH A COUPLE CLAPS OF SOME THUNDER FLASHED LIGHTNING. UH, WASHINGTON AND OZARK COUNTIES ARE GOING TO BE SEEING SOME OF THIS RAIN AS WELL. AND THEN FURTHER DOWN TO THE SOUTH WHERE IT’S CURRENTLY DRY, AS THIS LINE IS PROGRESSING DOWN TO THE SOUTHEAST, YOU SEE THAT TRACK? WELL, I WOULD EXPECT UNLESS THIS COMPLETELY DECAYS, EVERYONE MOSTLY EVERYONE, WILL BE SEEING A LITTLE BIT OF SOME LIGHT RAINFALL THIS MORNING. BEHIND THIS FIRST ROUND WE’VE GOT SOME QUIET CLEAR SKIES TO THE NORTHWEST OF US, BUT WE’VE GOT THIS APPROACHING COLD FRONT THAT’S GOING TO BE SPARKING OFF THOSE ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THIS IS WHAT FUTURECAST IS SHOWING AS THAT COLD FRONT MOVES DOWN TO THE SOUTH. WE HAVE THAT SECOND ROUND THAT DEVELOPS ALONG WITH IT, AND IT WILL BE DURING THIS TIME. WE’LL BE WATCHING VERY CLOSELY THE RADAR LATER THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING FOR SOME STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL, A BETTER OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE SOME STRONG, STRONG SEVERE STORMS IN ILLINOIS, PARTS OF IOWA. SO WE’RE JUST ON THAT NORTHERN FRINGE NOW, ONCE THAT SYSTEM MOVES SOUTH, HERE COMES HIGH PRESSURE FOR FRIDAY. AND THAT’S GOING TO CLEAR OUR SKIES OUT. AND THAT WILL PROVIDE US WITH SOME NICE DRY WEATHER AS WE WRAP UP THE WORKWEEK. AND THEN AS WE HEAD INTO SATURDAY, COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE ANOTHER A LITTLE BIT OF SOME CLOUD COVER. BUT CLOSER LOOK, HERE’S 1:00 PAUSING IT RIGHT HERE. AND YOU SEE HOW WE HAVE THESE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS. BETTER OPPORTUNITY ALONG THE LAKESHORE, BUT WE’LL CONTINUE WITH THAT. OR ALONG THE STATE LINE. BUT WE’LL CONTINUE WITH THAT ON AND OFF RISK AS WE HEAD INTO THE EVENING HOURS. SO, MARK, WE’LL HAVE MORE UPDATES OF COURSE, AND WE’LL KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON WEATHER WATCH 1290 FOR THE HIGH TEMPERATURE TODAY. AND THEN WE COOL OFF INTO THE MID 70S ON WEDNESDAY OR EXCUSE ME, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY BACK INTO THE UPPER 80S ON SUNDAY. LOWER 90S ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY. SO WE JUST GET A TWO DAY BREAK FROM THE STICKY WEATHER AND WE’RE GOING RIGHT BACK INTO THAT HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS. SINCE IT IS JUNE AFTER ALL. YEAH, IT’S GOING TO BE HOT NEXT WEEK. COUPLE 90S, MAYBE MORE. IT’S GOOD POOL DAY WEATHER FOR SURE. IT’S NICE TO FIND A FRIEND WHO HAS A WHO HAS A POOL. YEAH, THERE’S ONE OF US AT HIS DESK WHO DOES. HOW UNFORTUNATE. JUST SAYING.
