Thunderstorms Possible With a Cold Front Later Today...

Expected impacts:

• Scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible mainly between 6pm and 10pm today
• An isolated strong thunderstorm cannot be ruled out during the same time period
• Thunderstorm activity will likely be more numerous, and stronger, to the East of I-35 during the same time period (and also afterward)

Discussion:


A cold front will move into the local area late this afternoon into this evening, causing scattered showers and thunderstorms to develop, mainly between 6pm and 10pm.

An isolated stronger thunderstorm cannot be ruled out during this time, which could produce gusty winds and/or spotty hail in at least some parts of the local region. At this time it appears that, for the local area, any such activity will likely develop behind the cold front, which would tend to mitigate the potential for "severe" weather somewhat. The probability of severe storms will be higher (in both number and intensity) to the East of the area, to the East of I-35, where thunderstorms are more likely to develop along or ahead of the cold front.

Behind the front, breezy and much cooler conditions can be expected across the area for tonight into the day on Wednesday.
