Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey’s First Warning Forecast
It looks like our pleasant August weather isn’t going to go away quietly.
Most of the region is under a Level Two storm threat for Thursday afternoon.
Our number one concern is damaging, straight-line winds. But this batch of storms could produce some large hail and even a tornado or two.
Right now, it looks like prime time for storms will be early to mid afternoon. But the timing is highly subject to change.
Behind the storm system, temperatures and humidity levels will surge.
We should top out in the upper 80s and lower 90s on Friday, with highs in the low 90s both days this weekend.
Friday and Saturday are looking mainly dry, but there is a good chance for showers and thunderstorms on Sunday.
Sunday is looking like our hottest day over the next week with a slow cooling trend as we head through next week. Stay tuned.
