DAYS 1-5 (MAY 15-19)
\nA temperature roller coaster the next several days, but that won’t be the only ride we go on. Today we have a cold front slicing into a warm air mass and this will set the stage for showers and thunderstorms, some of which may be strong to severe. While I’m not expecting a widespread outbreak of severe storms, any of them can be strong and reach severe criteria, so we’ll have to keep a close eye on things this afternoon and early evening, the window of time in which they will be around. High pressure from Canada pushes everything to the south and introduces a much cooler northeasterly flow Wednesday, then sinks to the south and provides a warmer westerly flow on Thursday, only to see the cycle repeat with a cooler Friday, however this time the temperature change will not be accompanied by any thunderstorms. By late Friday into Saturday we will have to watch moisture to the south which may do anything from just glancing the region with rain to moving straight up and giving a significant rainfall. Enjoy the ride the next few days while those late week details get ironed out. Forecast details…
