Severe weather possible on Wednesday

We had multiple inches of rain overnight last night and this morning, but today was fairly dry for most of us.  Most areas did receive around 1-3″ of rain, with some areas getting more.  Highs today reached back into the the upper 60’s, with more moisture streaming overnight and throughout today.  The moisture levels will be high over the next 5-7 days.  The December blow torch will be back.  Severe Thunderstorms are possible as we head into Wednesday.

Severe weather will be possible as we go through the next 24-36 hours.  There is an area of low pressure that will move through the southern plains and into the Great Lakes by Friday, and it will be close enough to bring us some Severe Thunderstorms potentially for Wednesday and portions of Thursday.  The biggest threats will be from damaging wind gusts and some isolated Tornadoes.  The best time for the Severe weather would be from 2pm Wednesday until around Midnight on Thursday Morning.  I will be doing a Facebook Live Video with more discussion of this around 7:30pm on my Facebook page.  Search Meteorologist Chris Simmons or ChriswxmanSimmons   and you should see my page and you can like it and follow the live stream.  Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions.  Stay weather aware across the SE if your traveling the next few days.  -Chris
