Scattered thunderstorms will once again develop this afternoon from eastern New England through the Ohio Valley. As we saw yesterday, the storms were slow movers producing tremendous heavy rains and downpours which resulted in street flooding and small creeks rising. On the other side of things, the storms will bring relief to the heat by lowering temperatures in the evening.

The storms will be concentrated in in several areas and could impact the I-95 corridor from New York City to Philadelphia. That area is where a trough has settled in add sea breeze fronts will interact with that trough resulting in an area where storms will develop. Other storms will develop through the Mountains again and back into the Ohio Valley along the corridor of moisture that is coming up from the tropical low over Louisiana.

The real relief is a few days away when a cold front will move through bringing a change to cooler and less humid weather this weekend. Yea!

Simulated Radar for this Evening

This one I found interesting because you don’t see the models trying to stir-up a small but intense little storm this time of the year, but yet, some of the operational models including the GFS are showing just that by Thursday morning. A small intense low pressure system with gusty winds, thunderstorms and heavy rain will form out of the severe weather that develops today. Once develop, so may say in resembles a “Landcane” which has become over of those social media weather terms that show up every now and then for a small intense storm.

In any case, severe weather explodes across the High Plains this afternoon and last into tonight . The storms will produce damaging hail, high winds and probably a few tornadoes. Certainly Storm Chaser weather for the High Plains.

The storms will form into an rather large area of thunderstorms overnight into Wednesday which be the seeding for low pressure to develop over Nebraska. That low pressure will deepen as the jet dips in and pulls into under the vortex. So by Thursday morning we should see a fairly intense little storm over the Plains.

The impacts will be gusty winds, heavy rains and thunderstorms wrapping around the storm. Winds may gust over 50 mph across parts of Nebraska, northern Kansas and perhaps Iowa.
