6/2 - 6pm - Time to Cool Down

We were very close to breaking the 90-degree mark today, with a high topping out at 89 degrees. A Severe Thunderstorm WATCH has been issued for areas just to our north in Indiana where storms are firing up. A few isolated storms are forming to our southwest and we may see some action from these this evening if they continue their northward formation and hold together. Otherwise, tomorrow will be the day for thunderstorms around the area before a cold front pushes through tomorrow night. The SPC has placed us under a SLIGHT Risk for severe weather tomorrow:


I'm not too impressed with instability and shear numbers coming off of the models right now, so I'd say this will be a wind and hail issue without much of a tornado threat. Like the last week or so, these storms will maintain a scattered, multicellular pattern throughout the day tomorrow. Storms should fire in the late afternoon and continue through the evening before dissipating by Thursday morning. Thursday's high should be around 70.

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday look dry, but a small daily chance for a thunderstorm will be in the forecast for most of next week.

It's almost time for me to start packing! After one more day of high school tomorrow and graduation later this week, I'm off to Denver for storm chasing on Saturday!

4 days until storm chasing begins!
