11/29 – Rob’s “Severe Threat” Midday News Forecast

Main focus is the potential for strong to severe storms late Friday and into Saturday.

First looking at today we will see a return of rain as the moisture flow and a very buoyant atmosphere begins to take hold. Sea fog will also develop over the sound with it affecting the coastal counties overnight into Friday.

It’s a difficult forecast with a number of uncertainties not the least of which will be the severe potential.

A developing system along the Rockies will help to pull a warm front along with a surge of deeper moisture north across the region Friday evening/night. There is a concern that the bulk of the activity will fire up just south of the coast, move to the northeast, and possibly be confined to the Gulf maybe just clipping the extreme coastal areas. There is also the potential for 2 separate waves for SEVERE POTENTIAL. The first would be with the warm front coming out of the Gulf Friday night. The second could be with the system moving in from the west early Saturday morning before midday.

All activity should push east of the area during the afternoon hours as the cold front moves through. This front will stall right along the coast and no impact in temperatures is expected.A return of cooler weather is expected early next week…Sunday we will likely see rain again with isolated t-storms. Rain chances continue into the evening and early Monday until the cold front finally pushes into and through the region.
