2/15 – The Chief’s “Warm & Humid” Wednesday Morning Forecast

The cold front that was moving toward the area yesterday slammed the brakes and stalled to the west. The next front will actually make it through the area Thursday. Variables for severe weather are not remarkable but at least in the ball park.

While the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has increased this level to “enhanced” to the north of us where severe parameters become more elevated, the southern 6 counties remain under a “Slight” threat, with all modes of severe weather will be on the table. Even though we could be the launching pad for areas to the north, it will need to be closely monitored locally as well. The cold front will move through and NW winds will bring in dry cool air by late Thursday.

The weekend will bring mostly clear to partly cloudy skies with upper level clouds moving across the area. Colder temperatures can be expected especially Saturday morning where the mercury will drop into the mid-30s. Rebound temperatures will occur quickly as high pressure will move east of the area Sunday.
