Weather Forecast for April 28th, 2014

Severe weather is possible Tuesday.  We’re looking at high CAPE (convective available potential energy) and decent wind shear, all criteria for the formation of severe thunderstorms.  The storm front enters the area some time tomorrow morning, with models differing as to the exact time.  It could be anywhere between 6 – 10AM.  Rain persists for most of the day, with heavy amounts of rainfall possible (1 – 2 inches just for tomorrow) and a chance for severe weather.  Frequent lightning, high winds, and isolated tornadoes are all concerns with this front.  Rainfall chances remain high Wednesday and moderate on Thursday.  The Weather Team will continue to monitor this closely and bring you updates during the day on 41NBC and our 41 First Alert Weather Page on Facebook.

Today only brings a slight chance for storms with highs soaring high at 88, much warmer than average for late April.
