Scattered Storms To Rule The Forecast

Real Time BG Radar:


Today: Partly cloudy, with scattered storms in the afternoon. A few may be severe. High of 84ºF. Tonight: A few storms remaining, with mostly cloudy skies. Low of 65ºF.

Well, well, well. Looks like we are looking at a different pattern now!

After days of sweltering heat the past month, we are in a pattern that favors us seeing more thunderstorms and cooler conditions. Yesterday evening saw some of the benefits of that, with severe storms rolling through the area. Before that, though, temps didn’t even get that high!

Your Tuesday will see similar conditions prevail, with highs only reaching the mid 80s across the region.

We will likely see some scattered storms fire up between midday and mid afternoon, as a weak boundary makes its way into a relatively unstable environment. This could lead to some stronger storms, and the SPC has placed us in a slight risk of severe storms for the day.

Main threats with any storm that fires will be damaging wind and large hail. Be weather aware as you go out and about today! Tonight will feature some isolated, left over storms, and mostly cloudy skies.


Wednesday: Mostly cloudy, with showers and isolated thunderstorms. High of 76ºF. Wed. night: Continued cloudiness, with showers and storms. Low of 67ºF.

Wednesday looks like a really, really good day to just stay inside and catch up on that book you said you’d read…

It just looks fairly nasty outside. There are gonna be a series of disturbances moving through the region that will spark up several areas of heavier rainfall that will move across the area. The model differ a bit on the track of those areas of rain, but generally speaking, we are likely to see some rain.

This will keep many of us only in the 70s for highs during the day! That is cause for celebration.

Going into the overnight hours, we will see the threat for rainfall continue, and skies staying mostly cloudy. Lows will end up in the upper 60s.


Thursday: Again, mostly cloudy. Threat for on and off rainfall and storms. High of 79ºF. Thur. night: Maybe a bit of a rain break, but remaining cloudy. Lows kept around 67ºF.

You can basically say the same thing about Thursday that we said about Wednesday. Terrific temperature wise, but kinda awful weatherwise. I mean, rain gets old after the first, second or third nap.

Again, we’ll see the threat of rain, but the heaviest may stay to our south during most of the day. This still won’t allow us to escape the clouds, and we’ll likely remain locked in the upper 70s. A few may crack the 80s, but I don’t see it as likely.

By this point, we will all want it to be sunny and hot again. Overnight, you’ll see the continuation of clouds and isolated showers as lows only fall to the upper 60s.
