Strong storms moved through the Tri-State this afternoon but we have escaped the worst of it. However, we aren't done yet. Just done for today.
RADAR | Track storms as they roll in
A few storms will be possible the remainder of the day today, but the big threat has passed. Humidity still remains high and skies are clearing on the backside of these storms. It will still be warm and muggy across the Tri-State. Outside of an isolated downpour we will stay predominately dry until around 2 a.m.
Tonight will be warm and muggy with temperatures only dropping to around 72° to 75°. An isolated storm is possible to develop after 2 a.m. but severe threats look low. Overall it will be mostly clear to partly cloudy.
Unfortunately we do this all over again on Thursday. The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) again has us inside a slight risk for severe storms. This will include all forms of severe weather with damaging winds and rain the primary issues, but also a few isolated tornadoes.
The morning starts dry but incredibly muggy. The low temperature should be right around 73°. Our dew point rises to the upper 70s tomorrow, one of the highest levels we've yet to see this summer. That, combined with sunshine and heat, will lead to feels like temperatures of 100°+. That will mean we have a lot of energy for storms to feed off of. THAT'S IF we don't see rain earlier in the day. Wednesday morning's storms tamped down the severe threat in the evening, so if that happens again Thursday the threat would be lowered as well.
It's in the early afternoon that a line of storms could once again pass from northwest to the southeast across our viewing area. If we are dry the first half of the day, things will likely turn severe. While the image below shows storms at 2 p.m., that could easily change depending on how things evolve and develop tomorrow. Right now, that window is between 12p.m. and 8 p.m. But definitely stay weather aware throughout the afternoon and evening hours.
Friday brings another threat for strong storms and heavy rain. Additionally, humidity and heat will make things feel like 94° to 97°.
Saturday is the coolest day of the next nine days with highs into the low 80s, but that's mainly because of rain and clouds. The heat returns on Sunday.
