After a day of weather that went more or less as advertised, we get a couple days to dry out before another round of showers and thunderstorms — and maybe some more severe weather — arrives on Friday.

We will stay breezy Wednesday, particularly in the morning, as cooler and drier air blows into the area behind a cold front. We start the day in the low 40s and warm to the mid-50s in the afternoon. A few clouds will be around, but overall it’ll be much sunnier than Tuesday. (Not hard to do!)

Thursday will feature calmer winds and a chillier start. We’ll begin the day in the mid-30s before warming to the low 60s in the afternoon under partly cloudy skies. It should be a fairly quiet, nice day of weather overall.

The quiet doesn’t last, though, as another storm system affects the area on Friday. While it won’t be as windy of a system as Tuesday’s was, it will still bring with it a fairly well-sheared environment which, if paired with enough instability, could yield another round of severe weather. The Storm Prediction Center has the area outlined in a 15% severe weather risk in the Day 4 outlook; we’ll see how this evolves as the rest of the week wears on. For now, though, don’t let the weather radio stray too far…we might need it again later this week.
