Cool Weather Leaves... Severe Weather Sunday?

We've been chilly today with lots of clouds - but that hasn't been the case for everyone... and soon enough we'll be seeing plenty of sunshine out there for all. Look at this image below - this is what we call "visible satellite" imagery. That is basically what we use to simulate what we see with our own eyes from space:


As you can see - it was a fine line between warmth and sunshine and cloudy skies and chilly temperatures. Unfortunately - that line didn't really move much throughout the day. That will change for Thursday, though, and we'll see a return to near-80s.

All of this warmth and sunshine helps to fuel some thunderstorms - and that will likely take place toward this weekend. We are closely watching Saturday and Sunday - with a lot of emphasis on Sunday - for any severe weather potential as a cold front glides through the area.

We'll update you on any potential severe weather as the time approaches - but for now just plan on some strong thunderstorms being seen on Sunday.

Have a great night!
