Stormy Wednesday Ahead?

We've been talking storms for a while on our KDLT Weather Blog - and I guess since it's still June and there is moisture in the air we're going to be talking about them for a while. The deal for Wednesday is that a cold front will progress through the area. We're looking for possible isolated overnight storms Tuesday night late into Wednesday - but then more numerous storms form during the day on Wednesday.

We haven't really shown you a computer-model generated forecast in a while - so figured today would be the day.

This is what a global forecast model is showing us for about 7pm Wednesday night - imagine that the shaded regions are showing "future radar" and you'll get the picture:


See that bullseye right in the southeastern corner of our viewing area? We'll be watching for that! There is a bit different picture that comes out of our other more local-scaled weather model. This one is known as a "mesoscale" model - meaning it has some very small-scale features it considers that a global model will miss. They both have their pluses and minuses - but again we recommend you picture this map as one showing "future radar:"

Either way you slice it - Wednesday looks stormy. Remember to check out our KDLT Weather Blog for updates, and watch KDLT because we'll update you as necessary.

Have a great night!
