Heavy Thunderstorms Also Likely Across Areas of Missouri & Tennesseee
12/16/24 9:27am EST
Good morning everyone. We have a rainy and raw day across coast sections of the Northeast and New England today, then another round will sweep through across much of the area later today through tomorrow morning. We are in the “mild” quadrant of this system, so little to no snow is expected aside from the highest elevations.
That same system and its trailing front, are responsible for heavy showers and thunderstorms ongoing throughout parts of Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana. Eventually, those thunderstorms will push into Kentucky and Tennessee late this morning and throughout the afternoon.
As those storms interact with the heating on the day and bump into relatively warmer and more humid air, we could see some isolated severe weather across parts of Kentucky. Look for the possibility of locally damaging winds, hail, frequent lighting, and torrential rain.
On the West Coast, we continue to watch a rather large storm transit areas of California, Oregon, and Washington. Gale force winds, heavy rain, and mountain snows are on the menu for today; then we’ll begin to watch for the next system like due in early Wednesday.
