TIMELINE: Rounds of storms bring severe weather threat this weekend
ALL RIGHT. IN THE MEANTIME, LET’S TALK ABOUT THIS FORECAST, BECAUSE I THINK IF YOU ARE GETTING READY TO HEAD OUT FOR LUNCH HERE IN A LITTLE WHILE, ENJOY IT. IT’S GORGEOUS OUT. TAKE THE EXTRA LAP OUTSIDE BECAUSE IT FEELS SO GOOD. IF YOU CAN DO A MIDDAY WALK, YOU KNOW IT’S GOING TO BE A NICE ONE. EVEN IF YOU CAN’T UNTIL LATER ON AFTER WORK, IT’S STILL GOING TO BE GREAT. THEN TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO MAKE IT UP TO ABOUT 75 TODAY, MUCH LIKE WE DID YESTERDAY. WE ARE SITTING AT 65 HERE IN TOWN. A LITTLE BIT COOLER THOUGH. FURTHER TO THE NORTH WE HAVE TEMPERATURES CLOSER TO ABOUT 53 THERE IN CONNERSVILLE, UPPER 50S IN MIDDLETOWN RIGHT NOW, BUT OVERALL STILL FEELING GREAT OUTSIDE. STILL LOOKING AMAZING AS WELL. THAT SKY IS STAYING NICE AND CLEAR. TEMPERATURES ARE APPROACHING 70 IN SOME OF OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES, SO WE’LL STAY WARM THROUGHOUT THE REST OF TODAY. QUIET, RADAR. THAT’S HOW WE LIKE TO SEE IT, RIGHT? ESPECIALLY FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. REALLY NICE OUTSIDE. IT’S GOING TO STAY QUIET FOR THE REST OF TODAY. NOW, WE DO HAVE THIS WARM FRONT SITTING TO OUR NORTH. THIS LITTLE BOUNDARY HERE. EVENTUALLY WE COULD START TO SEE SOME SHOWERS POPPING UP JUST TO THE SOUTH OF IT AS A COLD FRONT TRIES TO MOVE THROUGH. THAT’S GOING TO BE TOMORROW THOUGH. SO FOR TODAY IT’S STILL GOING TO STAY NICE AND DRY OUTSIDE. SO TOMORROW IS OUR FIRST CHANCE OF RAIN. AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND, WE’LL HAVE A BETTER CHANCE TO SEE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVING THROUGH ON FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY, AND THEN CONTINUING OFF AND ON THROUGH THE DAY ON SATURDAY, ESPECIALLY THE SECOND HALF OF THE DAY. SATURDAY. I THINK BY SATURDAY EVENING WE’VE GOT A PRETTY GOOD CHANCE OF SOME HEAVY RAIN MOVING INTO THE AREA. SO MOST OF FRIDAY IS STILL GOING TO BE DRY FOR YOU. SATURDAY IS OUR BIG WEATHER IMPACT DAY BECAUSE MOST OF FRIDAY NIGHT’S RAINFALL AND THUNDERSTORM THREAT IS REALLY GOING TO BE MORE OF AN EARLY MORNING SATURDAY TYPE OF TIMELINE. THEN BY SATURDAY EVENING, WE’LL SEE OUR SECOND WAVE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVING THROUGH. BOTH ROUNDS HAVE THE CHANCE TO BRING IN SOME HEAVY RAINFALL, BUT I THINK ESPECIALLY BY SATURDAY EVENING, THAT’S WHEN WE’RE GOING TO PICK UP SOME OF THOSE HIGHER RAINFALL TOTALS. SO KEEP THIS IN MIND. ROUNDS OF RAIN AND STORMS MOVING THROUGH, BRINGING IN THE CHANCE FOR HEAVY RAINFALL, GUSTY WIND. AND THERE IS THAT POTENTIAL TO FOR AN ISOLATED, STRONGER THUNDERSTORM THROUGHOUT THE DAY ON SATURDAY, NOT JUST SATURDAY MORNING, BUT SATURDAY EVENING AS WELL. THAT’S SOMETHING WE’RE KEEPING A VERY CLOSE EYE ON HERE. THERE IS THAT POTENTIAL FOR AN ISOLATED, STRONGER STORM MOVING THROUGH HERE. AS FAR AS TODAY’S CONCERN, THOUGH. AGAIN, IT’S GORGEOUS OUTSIDE. MIGHT HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA CLOUD COVER THIS AFTERNOON COMPARED TO WHAT WE SAW YESTERDAY, BUT STILL LOOKING GREAT WITH TEMPERATURES TOPPING OUT AROUND 75. IT WAS NICE AND MILD TO START THE DAY AS WELL, SO WE’RE HANGING ON TO THAT MILD WEATHER FOR THE REMAINDER OF YOUR WEDNESDAY. THEN EARLY TOMORROW MORNING, SOME CLOUD COVER CONTINUES TO MOVE IN HERE. WE’LL SEE MOSTLY CLOUD COVER THROUGH THE DAY ON THURSDAY, BUT THE POTENTIAL FOR ANY RAINFALL ON THURSDAY IS LOOKING VERY MINIMAL AND LOW. SO THAT’S WHY RAIN CHANCES REALLY ARE JUST AT A STRAY TO SCATTERED AT BEST. I THINK IF WE DO SEE ANY RAINFALL ON THURSDAY, IT’S GENERALLY GOING TO BE IN THE EVENING AND ESPECIALLY FOR OUR SOUTHERN ZONES. I THINK FOR THE MOST PART, MAJORITY OF US WIND UP STAYING DRY ON THURSDAY. THEN THAT RAIN POTENTIAL KICKS UP AGAIN, STARTING ON FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. SO AS FAR AS TODAY IS CONCERNED, GORGEOUS OUTSIDE 75 ON. BY THE TIME WE GET TO ABOUT 4:00 THIS AFTERNOON, AS THE KIDS ARE GETTING HOME FROM SCHOOL OR HEADED OUT TO PRACTICE, THEN 60S AND 50S FOR THE OVERNIGHT HOURS, MOVING FORWARD WILL HOLD ON TO THE WARMER WEATHER. SLIGHTLY COOLER TOMORROW, JUST WITH THE EXTRA CLOUD COVER. AROUND 67 FOR A HIGH TEMPERATURE. EITHER WAY, STILL TOPPING OUT WELL ABOVE AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. TYPICALLY WE’RE JUST IN THE 50S. WE’LL BE IN THE 50S AFTER THAT RAIN POTENTIAL FOR THE WEEKEND. THAT’S GOING TO BE A STRONG COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THAT DOES
