Recommended Videos



  • Confidence is growing for impactful storms Wednesday afternoon and evening, though it’s worth mentioning that some high-resolution models continue to differ some on the timing.
  • Consensus is that the second half of Wednesday will feature showers and storms, some strong to severe.
  • Window from 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. is where we anticipate strong to severe storms.
  • Severe threat is there, as all of the area is under a marginal risk for severe weather (level 1 of 5), but the North and West zones are in a slight risk (level 2 of 5).
  • Strong damaging winds are our biggest concern, but hail and flooding are also worth watching out for. The tornado threat is smaller, but not absent.

Hot, humid Wednesday

  • On top of the storm threat, it’s going to be a hot and muggy Wednesday.
  • Highs will be in the mid-90s, but with higher dew points, it’s going to feel like 100°+ at times in the afternoon.

More Rain/Storm Chances Thursday

  • The system that’s bringing us showers and storms Wednesday will give us a few more on Thursday.
  • Looking to be mainly a rain threat, but a few rumbles of thunder may be in there from time to time. The severe threat Thursday is a good deal smaller.
