Heavy Showers & Thunderstorm Continue Along Gulf Coast
10/04/24 10:30am ET
Good morning everyone. The Northeast remains quiet for the most part, with a few weak disturbances moving through that’ll bring a few clouds and drizzle in between larger periods of sunshine and mild conditions. Tuesday begins the bigger cool down, and we could see a round of strong to severe thunderstorms across parts of western New York some time on Sunday with that front.
That front will first head into the Pacific Northwest across Washington and Oregon as our first potent fall storm of the season. Most of the energy goes up into Canada, but we could still see some heavy rain, strong winds, and high elevation snows. It’s a fast moving system, and already knocking on the Upper Midwest door by tomorrow afternoon.
Areas such as Wisconsin, Minnesota, and parts of Michigan, could see a round of strong to severe thunderstorms tomorrow afternoon and evening due to the strong contrast in air masses. Look for the risk of damaging winds, hail, frequent lightning, and torrential rain. We also have a Gale Watch in effect for winds across the lakes that may exceed 50mph with the passage of that front.
