What?

After a quiet, cloudy beginning to our week, we’re shifting gears by tracking a storm system that will bring in multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms starting Thursday morning.

When?

The first wave looks to bring in a threat of some strong storms and heavy downpours Thursday morning into the early afternoon. Below is the timing on the first wave, then the two additional waves coming in through Thursday afternoon.

How much rain?

While not everyone will see heavy downpours, there is a good chance to see multiple inches of rain across a small area. Below is the example of the short range model, which shows some areas could see up to 2-3″ and the threat of hail is back, similar to the monster hail we saw last Friday.

Bottom Line:

Thursday’s storms look to be a good bet for at least a messy morning/early afternoon, however, I wouldn’t be shocked to see them speed up. Our short-range models update frequently, so make sure to check back in often the rest of this week.

Have a plan and make sure to check in with the Stormtracker 2 team, we’ll be tracking any changes for the rest of the week!
