Thursday Morning's Weather Discussion - Flash Flooding Still Possible Tomorrow - 70's to Near 80 Possible Late Next Week - Tropical Storm Possible After the 10-Day Period



We will see some very nice weather over the next 10 days, and very mild as well, with the one big exception of tomorrow, when we will see heavy rain in the morning, making for a horrible morning commute to work, so plan on it now.  As far as the possibility of flash flooding goes tomorrow, it remains a possibility although it completely depends upon where the heaviest bands of rain set up.  There is a possibility that the heaviest bands of rain could miss us to either the east or the west, but it is extremely hard to tell exactly where these bands will set up.  Wherever these bands of heavy rain set up there will certainly be flash flooding, with 2-4 inches of rain in a short time in those areas.  The areas outside of these heavy bands are still likely to get 1-2 inches of rain, which will make for terrible driving conditions tomorrow morning even if there is no flash flooding.  So, stay tuned.  I will issue an update on this situation late this afternoon or early this evening after the afternoon model runs are available.  After this system passes we will have just a slight chance of showers over the weekend and next Wednesday and Friday, and it should warm into the 70’s and possibly near 80 for the middle and end of next week.  Interestingly, after this ten-day period is over we could possibly be looking at a Tropical Storm affecting our region, so stay tuned for this as well.
