00:00
Just after what, five or six weeks of severe weather, we're beginning to step into summer mode
00:05
with a little bit of a reduced tornado threat, but still thunderstorms are strong with wind and hail,
00:09
but the heat's becoming a big story too. Yes, we certainly do need to slow things down a bit
00:14
when it comes to severe weather, though still some of these storms could produce some gusty
00:18
thunderstorms. We're keeping a close eye on those as we head throughout Wednesday night. Yeah, we
00:22
were tracking a tornado warning for a couple of counties in Maryland, a little west of Baltimore
00:26
and D.C. That warning has expired, but we will see some more downpours that'll be pretty heavy
00:31
for some this evening and tonight. All righty, Jeff, and with that, that brings us to our top story.
00:36
Yeah, we're still tracking storms rolling east. Here's a great time-lapse view from Novi, Michigan,
00:42
and this is a northwestern suburb of Detroit. Oh wow, check out that sky. Brilliant, Jeff,
00:50
meteorologically-wise, but it looks scary from the sky. It does, yeah. We've had a lot of nasty
00:56
storms here in eastern Michigan. They're still strong, but now they are more of a Canadian
01:00
problem. Now we can take it to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and here we have some high volume
01:05
and also some rain slowing some down as they cross the broad and mighty Susquehanna River. So you can
01:12
see the rain increasing in Harrisburg, and actually this is really just the beginning. We're going to
01:15
see that rain increase for another hour or two as a large zone here of showers runs all the way
01:22
down to near Hagerstown, Maryland, and that's moving northeast as this pivots through the region.
01:28
We did have a brief, and it was short-lived, tornado warning in an area here along Interstate 70
01:34
from Boonesboro, Maryland, into an area a little farther east, but that has given up at this point.
01:38
There wasn't a whole lot of rotation not long after the warning was initially issued. Here's
01:44
the current view, and if we look at some rainfall estimates here just over the past little bit of
01:50
time here, maybe a one-hour estimate, just to give you an idea of how much rain is coming down,
01:55
there might be a little bit of localized flooding east of Martinsburg, West Virginia,
02:00
a little estimate there of over an inch, and I'm cherry-picking areas that have seen the most rain,
02:05
but there are localized spots that have seen an inch or more and under a tenth of an inch there
02:09
once you get south of downtown Baltimore. So again, the results are going to vary quite a bit,
02:14
and that's the nature of summertime convection and late spring convection as well. Strong
02:18
thunderstorms are moving through the Cleveland area. You can see some of this not warned as
02:21
severe, but there is some lightning as this approaches from the western suburbs, and then
02:25
down into Findlay and areas around Lima, Ohio. We have some strong thunderstorms over Belle Fountain,
02:30
the high point in the state of Ohio, and Logan County. You can see a flash flood warning is in
02:35
effect there. So Belle Fountain up to Russellvania, still some heavy rain northeast of Belle Fountain,
02:39
and then up into other areas to the west. We do actually have some more severe thunderstorms at
02:43
the moment tied to the second disturbance as opposed to the first. So up into the north woods
02:47
of Wisconsin, here we are into Tomahawk and Lincoln County, Rhinelander, and up into Oneida County of
02:52
Wisconsin. Severe thunderstorm in progress there. We have a pretty nasty little hail producer into
02:57
Douglas County, Wisconsin, approaching western Bayfield County. You are also under a severe
03:01
thunderstorm warning. So let's take a look at the storm threat for the rest of this evening. It runs
03:06
from the Ohio Valley and other areas, I guess I should say at least for the first storm system
03:13
into the mid-Atlantic states. Now there is some risk up in northern Wisconsin tied to the second
03:18
disturbance, but this map illustrates the risk tied to the first storm system. And we will be
03:23
dealing with some more showers and thunderstorms. Boston, you snuck through well today with dry
03:27
weather, but that's not going to be the case on Thursday. Rain will emerge with showers and storms
03:32
into New England. In fact, you'll probably get two waves of it in Boston, one around midday and
03:37
another one into the evening as this first disturbance moves east. And then the second
03:41
one follows with some additional showers, spotty afternoon thunderstorms over the next few days. So
03:45
Thursday's forecast showers, thunderstorms in many areas here. It's going to be wet at times, but not
03:51
lasting too long. Limited risk of severe weather from Albany all the way down into eastern North
03:55
Carolina with hail, flash flooding, and damaging winds. And Bree, again the rain still with us on
03:59
Friday as well, at least at times, but the southeast has some storms too. Yes, unfortunately
04:05
we don't get to dodge the action here, Jeff. We've been talking about some of those storms really
04:10
packing a little bit of a punch. And while you can see on the last three hours or so on satellite
04:15
and radar that we've seen some angry looking storms. Lots of lightning pushing across Mississippi.
04:20
We're continuing to keep a close eye on that line that's been trudging along southeastern Louisiana.
04:26
But overall, these storms starting to get their act together. We've been tracking this
04:31
line that's going to start to develop in these next few hours that could cause some problems.
