FIRST WARNING: Severe storms possible on Tuesday

FIRST WARNING: Severe storms possible on Tuesday

Although the overall situation of today’s severe weather is a little different because it is a so-called northwesterly flow, all types of severe weather are in play. Storms clustered together, strong winds, and large hail are all in play. With higher humidity also in play, heavy rains are possible, leading to a risk of flooding. Border collisions could also favor the odd tornado, albeit with less risk.

However, our biggest concerns are hail and strong winds, not a sudden tornado or flooding…

On Wednesday, rain chances will decrease a bit as the atmosphere “recovers,” but we’ll pick back up in time for Thursday when more adverse weather conditions will return. Make sure you have your First Alert Weather app handy and that your weather radios are tuned and ready to go!

Tuesday is likely to be the first of several days with potential rain.
