Let's have a fabulous Thursday! StormTeam 3 will have back-to-back Weather Aware Days as our severe weather risk for today and Friday has increased. Two rounds of soaking rain and t-storms arrive in the afternoon and continue through the evening over those two days. Our first round of rain arrives by mid-afternoon as storms begin to bubble up across VipirRadar. heavy rain and severe storms will continue increasing through the evening commute. The biggest concern on Thursday will be widespread heavy rain. Rainfall rates will be in excess of 2″ per hour with some of the stronger cells that develop. Localized street flooding will be a possibility this evening. As our severe weather risk has increased, the main severe threat will be damaging wind gusts of 40 -60+ mph. There is a low end risk of quick spin-up tornadoes. Be sure to pack your patience this evening as rain will be blinding at times and take it slow. If you don't HAVE to be on the road this evening, I recommend waiting until the storms have passed. Friday's storms will be moving through the area ahead and along a cold front. It will be a breezy day even outside rain showers and storms. Heavy rain threat continues with the possibility of scattered severe storms Damaging wind gusts in excess of 60 mph will again be the main threat. Hail and isolated spin-up tornadoes are possible.
