Spring Showers...& Thunderstorms On the Way...


Hey fellow weather bloggers!

As many of you have probably been noticing spring is roaring in and MOST DEFINITELY LIKE A LION! With warm air, you know what happens, it rises quickly and with a main supply of moisture (Gulf of Mexico), we will begin to see spring thunderstorms again. This coming week, we actually will be experiencing some spring like thunder showers Monday and Tuesday.


Here's the set-up:

As seen in the Storm Prediction Center's forecast through Tuesday morning, a slight risk of severe weather stretches from the Missouri Valley into Texas. A strong upper level low system will push into the plains Sunday night into Monday. As it does we will see plenty of rain. Some areas could see anywhere from 1" - 2" of rain. Areas in thunderstorms could pick up to 3" of rain by Tuesday afternoon when the rain is expected to come to an end. With above average ratings for our precip. so far this year, this could cause some minor stream & street flooding.

Though this risk, as of right now is around areas in Ozarks, this could change as Monday gets closer. I wouldn't be surprised if more of our viewing region is included in the next forecast that the Storm Prediction Center issues for severe risks.
For the time being, we will see near average temperatures for the remainder of the weekend.

Stay tuned!

Anthony
