The latest cold front will move through the Tri-State later this evening, bringing showers, storms and a risk for severe weather.
The morning and afternoon will be dry, warm, and windy. Temperatures start at 53 and rise to 70 this afternoon. Winds will be coming in from the southwest at 20 to 30 mph, gusting to 40 mph. Between 8 p.m. and midnight, a line of thunderstorms will pass through the area and this is when we'll see our chance of severe weather.
The Storm Prediction Center has increased our risk for severe storms. It's still not an evening for widespread severe weather, which is likely, but a few cells could turn severe and must be monitored closely. The primary concern is damaging wind gusts, potentially downbursts. There's the potential for large hail, but it's a lower concern. We also cannot rule out an isolated tornado developing in today's setup.
After the storms exit, temperatures will tumble as we head into the first official day of spring. Temperatures will be in the mid-to low 40s on Thursday morning and likely won't increase throughout the day. The sky will be overcast, winds will be breezy, and spotty precipitation cannot be ruled out. If we do see moisture move through, it could be rain or even snow mixed in at times.
Friday, we are back to the mid-50s with a partly cloudy sky.
