⛈️ Storm Update: Here we go again, another active afternoon and evening is expected across parts of the state. A cold front will approach the region from the north later today. This, along with increasing CAPE (Convective available potential energy) to over 2,000 J/kg, will result in scattered showers and thunderstorms developing.

We should have an unstable lapse rate, meaning the rate at which atmospheric temperature decreases with increasing altitude, this afternoon and evening. Gusty winds and downbursts would be the main threat; a couple of storms could be strong to severe across the state.

As with the last few days, not everyone will see storms, but the ones that do develop will be strong to severe with gusty to damaging winds, heavy rainfall, and lots of lightning being the main threats.

The timing will be mainly after lunch into the late evening. I've attached the future radar. Don't take it literally; it just gives you an idea of the scattered storms in nature. I'll pass along updates.

Holiday Weekend Weather Headlines!

Boom, here's your weather headlines for the holiday weekend. You can't go wrong! The weather will be A+ over the next two days, with highs in the 70s and 80s under partly to mostly sunny skies. There will be an isolated thunderstorm chance on Saturday afternoon and evening, mainly west across the mountains and foothills.

-Sunday, a cold front will approach from the west. We should see some cloud cover increase, followed by a risk of scattered showers and thunderstorms, but rainfall amounts are trending lower and don't look like much. Will keep watching and update if things change like normal. The pick outdoor day is Saturday, but still do things outside on Sunday too, in my opinion.

-The cold front will pass through, and Monday-Wednesday will be much cooler with highs in the 50s and 60s for most areas. Overnight lows will dip back into the 40s and 30s. Tuesday and Wednesday night, we will have to watch for some frost and even a freeze in parts of the state.

-We warm back up Thursday into next weekend with highs back in the 70s and 80s.

-It'll remain dry all next week, and the fire danger looks to ramp back up next week, especially. A burn ban remains in effect until further notice.
