Good Monday night!
The Storm Prediction Center has issued a level 2/5 risk for severe storms Tuesday. Here's what we know:
• Timing: 3pm until 8pm
• Threats: Hail, damaging wind, flooding, and isolated weak tornadoes
• Heat Advisory remains in effect through Tuesday due to heat indices of 107°F +
A frontal boundary will gradually through the Ohio Valley on Tuesday, leading to the threat of severe storms. Ahead of the front, high heat and humidity associated with daytime heating will fuel these storms. The biggest threats will be winds in excess of 57 mph and 1" inch diameter hail. The tornado threat is low, but not non-existent. Sometimes these weather setups can lead to weak tornadoes.
Late day showers and storms continue each day this week. Model information shows by the end of this week total rainfall accumulation could exceed 3" in some regions! This means low-lying areas may see some flooding.
