Severe Thunderstorms Watch this Evening, July 12

Rather warm today, Tues July 12, with high near 90 and a Heat Index ("feels like tempurature ") in the mid 90s. We could see a Heat Advisory if the rain holds off.

As a front moves through today we will first see some gusting midday, gusts around 25 mph for a few hours, then a 50/50 chance of showers, and perhaps an isolated thunderstorm or two. There is a very slight chance of a severe thunderstorm, with gusty winds the main risk factor. Timing on the rain is mid-afternoon through early evening.


ick, it's gonna feel like tempura?

now that's some sticky weather.

We could use some rain.


I feel like we have been promised rain several times in the last few weeks, only to be stood up.


The operative word in these weather threads is “chance”…
