Storm Team 3: Severe storms possible again today
Let's have a fabulous Friday! Today is another StormTeam3 Weather Aware Day as scattered strong and severe storms are possible this afternoon and evening. This round of rain will be from that cold front we've been impatiently waiting for all week. After this round, we dry out and enjoy lovely sunshine all weekend long!!
The first half of our Friday will remain quiet with a mostly sunny to partly cloudy sky. Temperatures will warm into the mid-80s around lunchtime. Then, like clockwork, another round of scattered showers and storms arrives this afternoon and evening.
Rain showers and storms will begin moving into our inland counties by mid/late afternoon hours and then continue to track east towards the coast over 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 strong, damaging winds. Isolated tornadoes can't be ruled out.
The front will push off the coast around sunset, and then any lingering rain will taper off overnight. Outside of any storms that develop, it will be a breezy day with wind gusts up to 25 mph.
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 and comfortably warm temperatures in the mid-80s.
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.
You also need a reliable way to receive critical weather alerts. A NOAA Weather Radio is a great tool to have in your home or place of work. They are dependable, even when the power and cellular service may be disrupted.
Another great tool to have ready is the WSAV Weather NOW app, which can receive weather alerts directly to your mobile device, anywhere you are. It is free and is available in the Apple App Store or Google Play.
Storm Team 3 will have you covered as conditions change. Stay tuned for the latest forecast.
