NYC Severe Weather Possible Tomorrow
08/27/24 10:57am ET
Good morning everyone. The Northeast continues to bask in heat and humidity until things settle down on Thursday. Hot weather is on the move and we are expecting widespread mid 90’s tomorrow across the coastal plain and some interior sections. This will help elevate the risk for a wide swath of severe weather tomorrow as a strong cold front bangs into that heat and humidity. The good news is that relief from heat & humidity is on its way with a much cooler Thursday and Friday expected.
Because of that cold front, severe weather is still a major issue as we look to the west and northwest. Last night we had a major severe weather outbreak across parts of Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Very large hail and damaging winds in excess of 70mph were reported, and even major cities such as Minneapolis got in on the action.
Today and tonight, we include some of the areas that got hit yesterday, but overall we shift things to the east in terms of the main core of energy. Leftover showers and storms from yesterday’s action continues to set off some areas of severe weather, but it’s tonight’s action that will be another cause for concern.
