3/8 – Jeff Vorick’s “Tornado WATCH/Heavy Rain” Friday Evening Forecast

A Tornado WATCH is in effect until 9 PM. Showers and thunderstorms, some capable of being severe, will be around into some parts of this evening. Thunderstorms will be capable of all modes of severe weather including isolated tornadoes, damaging winds, small hail, and flooding being a concern on top of that. A lull in the activity will take place later on this evening prior to the cold front making its way through our area. A broken line of showers and embedded thunderstorms may pose a damaging wind threat ahead of daybreak Saturday.

Winds shift to a north/northwest component tomorrow and a cooler stretch arrives to the area. Skies begin to clear out the second half of Saturday, especially overnight towards Sunday. Sunday morning will feature temperatures in the 40s, while afternoons Sunday and Monday will struggle to reach the 70-degree mark.
