Showers are beginning to move in... Thunderstorms tonight

Showers are moving to the northeast. This will be the rule for the evening.

A tornado outbreak is ongoing across the southern plains right now. As of right now 5 tornadoes have been reported. 6 were reported yesterday with Reed Timmer (storm chaser) intercepting one in the "Dominator" Link here.....

Now to the severe question for this evening??? As I have said in previous posts, we need instability to make these storms severe. Unfortunately little to no instability is forecast for this evening. A severe threat goes right up to I-57 where the higher instability will be located. As for us, wind gusts of 40mph and rain will be likely. No severe weather is expected, but a storm that can hold together from Illinois could maintain its Strong to Severe nature.

As for tomorrow, showers and thunderstorms will be around for the morning commute. After 10a.m. tomorrow, showers will turn more isolated. Temps of mid 50s to near 60 will be around in the morning. Unfortunately, as the cold front passes through, temps will fall through the day. After school temps look to be in the low 40s.

A brief cool down with a few overnight lows in the mid 20s will occur this week. (Thursday and Friday) This is hard to believe, but we will rebound early next week with temps in the 60s with 70s possible. Also thunderstorm chances return next week. More on this as the time gets closer. (above is the instability snapshot for next Monday. below is the precip for Monday)
