Mild today...overnight round of showers and storms on tap tonight...

>> Tuesday, November 22, 2011



Highs will head into the low and mid 70s for much of the region today as our next system approaches. At the same time, there is a pretty decent severe threat from the Lower Mississippi Valley into the Tennessee Valley and parts of the Ohio Valley today.

Intense dynamics pull into our region later tonight, and I expect a line of storms to move into the foothills and Piedmont a little after midnight tonight. Instability will be lacking, but there will be enough there to combine with the screaming wind fields aloft to provide the threat of damaging winds and an isolated tornado or two.

This will occur during the overnight hours in our region, so please keep those NOAA weather radios on and in the 'alert' position tonight.

The showers and storms exit early in the day tomorrow, and we will have some afternoon sun.

I expect full sunshine Thanksgiving and Friday with highs in the 60s.

Next system...

Our next intense system will swing in during the Sunday-Monday timeframe. Depending on how the system sets up, another severe weather threat could exist.

Matt,
Thanks for your daily updates on our weather. I may be like few other folks out there - getting kinda tired of this swing from warm, cold, warm then back again to cold. Though we are now middle of the week, how does things look for next week? I'm sure eventually things are going to get cold and stay cold for while, right? In the mean time, wish you and your family a happy Thanksgiving!

Sure thing! Still uncertainty for next week, but there are plenty of signs we are building toward a pattern change featuring more sustained colder weather in the eastern US.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours as well!
