Thunderstorms?

Thunderstorms look possible on Wednesday Night-Early Thursday Morning. There is a marginal chance for severe weather just west of us(according to the Storm Prediction Center), it will be interesting to see if this chance gets expanded eastward.  As for right now, a few rumbles of thunder are likely Wednesday- Thursday. The temp will begin to fall as the storm system moves away. I wouldn't rule out the chance for a few flurries Thursday evening- Friday morning.
Map from the Storm Prediction Center for Wednesday.


Today-Tonight: It is currently 45 right now with a light wind at 5-10mph. It looks clear for the rest of the day. Tonight, we will see clouds moving through. These clouds will help keep the temperature from falling through the night. A few sprinkles are possible tonight with the temp getting down to near freezing.

Tuesday: The day will start off cool with a temp in the upper 20s. A few clouds will linger in morning. These clouds will move away and set up for a mostly clear day. Temps will warm into the mid 40s. Winds during the day will be light at 5-10mph. As night falls, clouds will begin to build in as the next storm systems moves in. Rain is possible late Tuesday evening. 

Storm System Precip: This storm will be a heavy rain maker with the potential for severe weather (mainly southern Plains). Rain will most likely exceed 1". Rain totals as high as 2" are possible. Flooding will be a problem.

Outlook to Christmas: It looks fairly mild and rainy between now and Christmas. The models don't have too much snow lined up for the next 2 weeks. A White Christmas doesn't appear likely, but this can change.
