Partly cloudy skies will continue into the overnight hours with a low around 45°.

Tuesday 2/2 – Warm; Isolated Showers; Windy – High 71° / Tues Night – Thunderstorms and Showers – Low 47°

On Tuesday, a large trough will begin to move into the region. This will bring stout southerly flow across the region as a warm front lifts northward. Southwesterly flow aloft will aid in strong warm air advection across the area. Divergence aloft may also be sufficient enough to lift some isolated showers during the day. This will hinder temperatures a bit, however upper 60s to low 70s are still expected.

During the evening hours a low level jet on the order of 50-60 knots will develop. This will aid in the formation of thunderstorms across the region. Instability values are in question, however shear will be sufficient to include a chance of severe weather in the forecast. The main threats will be damaging wind and isolated tornadoes embedded in a long line of thunderstorms. The Storm Prediction Center has placed our area in an enhanced risk of severe weather.
