4/4 – Payton’s Wednesday Afternoon Forecast

The cold front has moved through taking all the showers with it. Now we will start a clearing trend into this afternoon and evening. Winds will continue to be breezy out of the north before letting up later this evening.

High pressure will have a short stay before another cold front moves toward the area bringing another round of strong to severe storms Saturday morning. The next round of thunderstorms will come with the cold front that is expected to move through during the morning Saturday. Models have all backed off on this boundary stalling which is a good thing because when a boundary lingers, rainfall can accumulate fast causing larger flooding issues. When these boundaries are moving, heavy rainfall may be associated, but they move through fast enough to only cause nuisance flooding of roadways and low lying areas.

Another front looks to affect the area by the start of the new week, so things are looking progressive for the next several days.
