ALERT DAY: Strong T-Storms & Locally Heavy Rain Possible -Bill Graul

Saturday’s Forecast High: 81F / Tonight’s Forecast Low: 71F…

If you have outdoor plans this weekend, you’ll want to keep an eye on the radar, have the rain gear handy… and keep up to date on the latest weather information. A great way to do that is to download our FREE News8000 First Alert Weather App. Give it a try, I think you’ll really like it! Just scan the QR code below.

ALERT DAYS both today & Sunday… due to the chance for a couple rounds of showers and t-storms. There’s the potential for some strong to perhaps severe storms with gusty winds, hail and locally heavy rainfall. It looks like we could see one round of storms Saturday morning… then another later Saturday night into Sunday morning. There could also be scattered storms during the afternoon and evening hours both days… if the atmosphere can recover and destabilize from the morning activity & cloud cover. Some forecast models advertise anywhere from 1″ to 3″+ of rainfall across much of our area through Sunday night. Best advice is to stay tuned for updates… and make sure you stay extra weather aware, especially if you have outdoor plans.

Looking Ahead… A few showers and storms could linger into Monday morning, otherwise expect partly sunny skies and another warm and humid day. Hot & humid Tuesday and Wednesday with highs around 90F, along with slight chances for showers and t-storms.

Next Thursday through Saturday looks dry at this time… and not quite as warm and humid, with highs falling into the low 80s.

Have a great weekend… but again, make sure you stay extra weather aware with the periodic storm chances. -Bill Graul
