Welcome back WABBLES, November is here in full swing. We may have started out with some beautiful weather and above average temperatures. However, as a cold front moves its way through region Thursday and the upper air conditions are all coming together, we will see some wet weather heading into the weekend. We may see some thunderstorms and heavy rain that will bring some cooler temperatures moving into your weekend. As we move into the rest of the work week, you’re going to want to keep that jacket and umbrella handy as we dive into the timing and intensity of the rain ahead.
Today’s Weather
As you woke up this morning you may have noticed that it was already a bit wet outside or as you were woken up by that rumble of thunder. While the heaviest rain fell before you woke up today doesn’t mean it’s over yet. Today’s high temperature will be cooler than yesterday in the low 70’s. Winds may gust upwards of 20 mph in the morning becoming calmer as we move into the afternoon hours. While there is no severe threat tomorrow, be aware of gusty winds, lightning and heavy rain. Some people in WABBLES may experience heavy constant rain throughout the day today and rain totals may exceed 1 inch by Thursday at midnight. As we move through the day your low for tonight will be in the low 60’s as that cold front moves through. Stay aware WABBLES when you go about your day today.
How long will this wet weather last
While you’re staring out the window today dreaming back the dry October we just had. You may be asking when this wet weather will stop? Well, as we move towards your weekend it’s looking like this trend will continue. As these storms and rain track through the factor driving them is the cold front that is soon to follow. Our rain chance will continue as we look towards our weekend WABBLES. Looking at Thursday, that’s when our cold front finally reaches us, and we see those cooler November temperatures. Our rain will continue through Thursday morning adding to our rainfall totals.
While we may get a break from the rainfall it will only be brief, but the rain will come again. Looking at our upper atmosphere we start to see another low-pressure system coming in for a visit this weekend. This means that the rain is back, and the Climate Prediction Center shows us this as we see a wet pattern ahead.
Well WABBLES, I hate to say it but it’s that time again that we split ways for today. As these rain showers and thunderstorms move into our area make sure you stay prepared. Stay updated with our Twitter to make sure you don’t get caught off guard. Watch out for areas of heavy rain and stay observant while driving today and through tomorrow. While localized heavy rain, lightning and wind gust or our biggest hazards for tomorrow stay safe and stay aware. As always stay dry WABBLES.
