Today’s Storm Team 3 Weather Aware Day continues as scattered strong and severe storms are possible this evening. This round of rain will be from the cold front we’ve been impatiently waiting for all week. After this round, we dry out and enjoy lovely sunshine and less humidity all weekend long!
WEATHER AWARE TODAYTiming: 3pm – 9pm
The expected round of scattered showers and storms arrives this evening.
Rain showers and storms will begin moving into our inland counties by the late afternoon / early evening hours. This activity will continue to track east towards the coast by this evening’s commute. Rain is expected to be heavy again and could lead to localized street flooding. Be careful driving in torrential rain – this could lead to blinding conditions at times. Severe storms are possible again, with our main impact of damaging straight-line winds. Isolated tornadoes can’t be ruled out.
The front will push off the coast around sunset and any lingering rain will taper off overnight. Breezy conditions will persist until after sunset.
After this last round of strong storms pushes off the coast, we dry out over the weekend! Both days will be filled with lovely sunshine, less humidity, and comfortably-warm temperatures in the mid-80s.
SEVERE WEATHER SAFETY
It is a good idea to think about what you would do in the event that a severe thunderstorm warning or tornado warning is issued for your area. Have a plan to get indoors and to the lowest level of a sturdy structure away from windows and doors…
