8/16 – Trey Tonnessen’s “Severe North Of Here” Friday Night Forecast

Meteorologist Trey Tonnessen

Saturday will be similar to today as the higher moisture content hangs around the area for one more day. PW will remain above the 75th percentile at around 2.1, so this, along with the departing ridge to the west will support coverage similar to today. Much of the coverage will be dictated by lake and sea-breeze boundaries once again during the afternoon and evening timeframe. With the ridge sliding to the west more tomorrow, we will be more firmly in northerly flow aloft. Typically for northerly flow, convective development is later in the afternoon and evening, so temps were bumped up a little bit to account for the extra heating expected before convection starts tomorrow.
