active weather returns

Active weather is back as two storm systems dominate the forecast.

Today we’ll see some rain across our area as our next storm system approaches. Rain likely won’t be widespread or heavy today, but a few light showers will be possible. South winds will be breezy as we warm up to the low 80’s. The bulk of the rain arrives tomorrow, and we can count on off/on rain throughout the day. I don’t really have a start/end time to offer, so yes, there may be rain during some football games tomorrow night. We’ll stay cloudy with highs in the mid 70’s. Some showers may linger into Saturday morning, but it looks like we’ll be rain-free by trick-or-treating time. I expect little to no impact on Halloween evening festivities! Sunday looks dry at this point.

Our next system approaches on Monday. We’ll have increasing clouds during the day as we warm up to the mid 80’s, and then storms arrive that night. There is still model disagreement and we could see the timing change, so allow for some variation in this forecast. With the current outlook, some storms in our area could be strong/severe with strong winds and hail likely being the greatest threats. We’ll get more of an idea of what to expect as we get closer.

It doesn’t look right now like this storm will impact Election Day, but we we will have cooler temperatures behind the front. Highs will be in the 70’s Tuesday and Wednesday!
