NYC Seasonable Workweek Expected
Good morning everyone. We’re waking up to leftover energy that survived the night and continues to bring severe weather to parts of Kansas. Unfortunately, we’re going to watch this cluster of storms expand, strengthen, and pick up speed as it heads east, southeast, and south.
As of now, severe thunderstorm watches (and some warnings) are posted in parts of south-central Kansas and central Oklahoma, which shows the cluster’s eventual direction. So far we have seen large hail, frequent lightning, and damaging winds exceeding 60mph.
Over the course of the next few hours, we’ll see this cluster grow out into a squall line capable of even stronger winds that could last longer in duration, as well as large hail, flooding rain, frequent lightning, and the risk of tornadoes. These storms are expected to go over areas that have already received too much rain over the past few weeks, so flooding will be the biggest risk even though we have the other severe components to contend with as well.
Look for these storms to continue to impact Kansas, Oklahoma very shorty, then into north/northeast Texas, and possibly Arkansas & Louisiana if they survive the trip. Stay tuned to your local agencies for the latest watches and warnings. This is going to be a long morning and possibly afternoon as well.
Here is your local NYC Metro forecast –
SATELLITE
Look for a mix of clouds and sun today, with warm and more humid conditions. We’ll have highs in the mid 80’s with the chance of a PM storm. Full sunshine returns tomorrow for a dry day, and it’ll be seasonable with highs near 80.
WEATHER RADAR
Seasonable temps continue on Wednesday with sun & clouds, the slight chance of a PM shower, and highs near 80 again. More clouds roll in overnight as our next system arrives, so look for a showery day on Thursday. Temps hold on though, with highs in the upper 70’s to low 80’s and humid.
Moisture hangs around for Friday, but we’ll see a few blue breaks and the chance for a PM shower or storm. Look for more upper 70’s to low 80’s to close out a very typical early June week.
