Warmer Temperatures Are Coming!

Looks like all the severe weather action will be in the Plain and Midwest.  In fact - I'm anticipating a major severe weather outbreak for Oklahoma and Kansas.  Fortunately, the weather is going to be fantastic for us.  Winds will pick up out of the south and this will mean some milder temperatures.

Saturday: We'll start the day with temperatures in the mid 50s.  During the afternoon - we may see a few scattered clouds.  Temperatures will warm into the upper 70s.  I think a few places might touch 80.   A strong southerly wind will help transport more moisture to the area.  Clouds will increase just a bit Saturday evening. Overnight lows will fall into the lower 60s.

Sunday: It will be cloudy at times with warmer temperatures.  Highs are expected to reach the lower 80s through the afternoon.

This is the NAM showing the rain at 1pm Monday. 



I'm thinking we may see some rain and thunderstorms on Monday.  A few strong storms are possible Monday afternoon.  However, I think the best chance of widespread rain and storms will happen late Monday night and Tuesday.  A few strong could produce gusty winds, but overall the severe threat looks very low will this system.

Long Range: Rain chances will take a break with highs in the lower 80s throughout much of next week.

Have a great weekend!
