With temperatures in the mid 70’s, today actually looks pretty good if you don’t mind the gusty winds and occasional showers dropping a few sprinkles of rain.

Late Afternoon/Evening Strong Storms

As a low pressure system tracks through our region this evening, a line of thunderstorms is likely to fire off along the cold front bringing us a good chance for flash flooding, gusty winds, and lightning.

Fortunately, we look to stay north of the low which will limit our instability, a critical ingredient to forming severe storms.  That said, we will still be on the look-out for high winds associated with storms forming in the 5-9 pm time frame.

Also, grab that umbrella for any evening plans tonight as heavy rain is a virtual certainty.

Damp and Cold Tomorrow and Saturday

A drastic cold front will pass through overnight which will make tomorrow feel more like February than mid-April. Scattered showers are possible throughout the day while temperatures stay in the upper 40’s calling for a closet dive for your winter wardrobe.

Those Saturday morning showers will be a cold, cold rain too as temperatures drop into the 30’s with north winds blowing in Canadian air.
