While most of our Veteran’s Day will be very nice and pleasant, we will need to be aware of the potential for a few strong thunderstorms after 5:00 PM.
The Storm Prediction Center has placed our region under a Marginal Risk of Severe Storms (Level 1 of 5) for later today. Thankfully, it is a low risk of damaging storms, but we can’t rule out a few severe thunderstorm warnings this evening with hail and gusty winds possible.
The window for rain and storms looks to be between 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Before that chance of showers and storms plan on more sunshine and highs near 70°. Southwest wind at 10-20 mph.
Cooler air arrives Thursday with occasional drizzle and breezy conditions. Northwest winds at 15-30 mph and highs in the lower 50s.
Friday will be our coldest day so far this season. Time to break out the coats! Highs in the 40s with perhaps a few sprinkles. Wind chills in the 30s. Low temperatures this weekend will dip to the upper 20s and low 30s – frosty mornings! A cooler and dry pattern this weekend through next week.
Today’s weather history, countdown, and jokes.
