Slight chance of strong storms on Tuesday
A few severe thunderstorms are possible Tuesday afternoon and evening, with the two main threats being damaging wind gusts and large hail. We have a cold front approaching the region on Tuesday before stalling nearby Tuesday night into Wednesday. Ahead of this front, storm ingredients may be stirred together by a southerly flow of warm wind and moisture.
Temperatures may quickly head for the low 90s (perhaps mid-90s), and increasing atmospheric moisture will not only make it feel muggy, but also raise the risk of heavier downpours. Perhaps a quick inch or two of rain can’t be ruled out?
We’ll keep an eye on this for you. As of now, there is just a 1 out of 5 chance of severe storms (dark green shading on the map). But we could see two rounds of thunderstorms, so we will have to watch the radar together and stay weather-aware during Tuesday afternoon and perhaps Tuesday night.
