Tuesday's Weather Thoughts

Another day and another night of stormy weather is expected, but this should be the last night of heavy, severe storms for at least several days.

The stubborn frontal system over the region that refuses to budge, along with disturbances riding north and east into the area along a western trough, will bring another round of stormy weather tonight. And just like previous nights, any of the storms could be strong to severe, with large hail, damaging winds, heavy flooding rains and isolated tornadoes. The threat will continue through much of the night but will begin to diminish toward sunrise as lows fall into the lower 60's.

But the western trough will finally push east, and high pressure currently over Idaho will press east also, and this will push the front well to our south allowing fair weather to return for Wednesday. It will be mainly sunny with lower humidity, and highs in the lower 80's will make it feel very pleasant. But it will be a bit breezy with northerly winds that will gust up and over 30mph at times.

The fair weather will continue through the end of the week, though some returning moisture on southerly winds, and a frontal system nearby may cause a few isolated late day storms, but nothing widespread or heavy is anticipated. And by Friday into the weekend, it may become quite hot with high reaching the lower to perhaps middle 90's, so summer is here!
