What a difference 24 hours makes since yesterday we were dealing with sunshine and 60s! Today, instead, the themes have been humity plus rain chances!
These showers stuck around through late afternoon but now rain has ended with clouds lingering behind. This is because Sunday’s cold front lifted north as a warm front, bringing highs up to upper 70s, low 80s.
Another cold front returns late Wednesday, hence storms will ramp up at that point. A Wind Advisory will go into effect from 6PM Wednesday to 8AM Thursday.
Right now, the Storm Prediction Center is issuing a Marginal Risk (level 1 out of 5) for severe thunderstorms. This is a low end threat, but gusty winds and a possible spin up tornado cannot be ruled out completely.
We have spring-like patterns sticking around with the forecast for Easter weekend looking much quieter. At that point, it will feel like it did Monday with colder overnight lows dipping into the upper 30s and lower 40s.
