The Return to Summer Looks to Continue

The Headline

Well, the headline for many of you is the fact that you’re waking up to some nice early morning thunderstorms.

The current storms are just north of BG, but there are some more that have developed to our southwest. Those may develop and impact BG and areas just to the south, so watch for that.

Outside of this, the main headline is just how much it seems summer has made a reappearance across the region. Currently, we have a fairly well defined disturbance near and passing through the region. That is what is forcing those storms.

This looks to pass through the region slowly today, allowing for more storms to fire up this afternoon, potentially.

This should cool off an otherwise warm afternoon, which will be nice. Tomorrow and Thursday look fairly similar to yesterday, actually.

We’ll develop plenty of instability in the afternoon, and it won’t take too much to fire a storm up in that environment. I don’t think we’ll have focused or widespread activity tomorrow or Thursday, but isolated storms are expected.

Anticipate temps in the mid and upper 80s, with high dewpoints in the afternoon.

Doesn’t this make the hot weather we’re gonna see later this week seem less bad? It does. What a gif. h/t giphy.com

This pattern looks to continue into this coming weekend, with a new ridge developing to our north.
