Timing out when severe storms move into the Tri-State

There were a few storms out there Tuesday but Wednesday presents another, better chance.

Overnight will be warm and muggy as we only fall into the low 70s. There will be a few isolated showers, possibly a few storms, at times well, but most of the area will be dry.

Wednesday will be a day where we see multiple rounds of showers and storms. We'll likely start the day with scattered rainfall, potentially impacting the morning drive. Then additional rounds of showers and storms will move through the area on Wednesday afternoon, a few potentially turning severe.

The Storm Prediction Center does include parts of the Tri-State in a Slight Risk for severe weather on Wednesday.

The best threat is for damaging wind gusts are the concern if anything does turn severe, but we may also see a small chance at hail or even a few spin-up tornadoes. Wednesday will be warm at 85° but also very humid. Feels like temperatures will likely be into the low 90s. Storm threats will last from 11 a.m until around 6 p.m. for most of the area.

With the amount of humidity in the atmosphere, where we see storms the next 24 hours we will likely see some very heavy rainfall. Don't be surprised if some areas see 1 to 2 inches of rain. That could lead to some areas of flash flooding. That is much needed due to the lack of rain we have had so far in June. Coming into Tuesday, much of the Tri-State was three inches below normal for rainfall. That means we could see some flash flooding if totals reach 2 inches in some areas.

After the storms pass we will clear out and cool down. Thursday's high looks to only reach 83° with much lower humidity levels.
