Thu 02:53 PM Update — Thunderstorms look much less likely this afternoon and tonight. It also appears that we won’t hit the highly advertised 94º high temp today.
My previous post postulated that it’s tougher to accurately forecast the weather with a tropical system in the picture. That’s not going to stop me from trying.
Tonight’s models are just becoming available. A warm front moves through overnight and dew points rise almost 10° by 8 AM.
Tonight’s models show some scattered/isolated thunderstorms developing between 5 AM and 7AM Thursday morning with the warm frontal passage. The ‘severe weather parameters’ are fairly elevated at that time, so while these storms will be isolated, they may pack a punch.
Some models are showing more thunderstorm activity late Thursday afternoon and evening.
Unfortunately, I’m unable to access the HIRESW model this evening.
