Extreme Risk Thursday

A WHOLE LOT OF FUN. I THINK 2021, THEY MADE IT ALL THE WAY TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME AND THEN LOST. I CAN’T GET ENOUGH. I CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF THEM. THEY’RE SO MATURE. AND YET IN THESE LITTLE BODIES AND THEIR LITTLE VOICES, I KNOW THEY CAN HIT GOOD LUCK, GOOD LUCK. ALL RIGHT, TURNING TO YOUR FORECAST AND UNFORTUNATELY YOU’RE GOING TO BE WATCHING THE FORECAST ALL DAY TOMORROW. I FEEL LIKE WE’VE BEEN DOING THIS ALL WEEK. ALL MONTH ALMOST. WE’VE BEEN STUCK IN THIS PATTERN WHERE IT’S JUST TRACKING THE STORM COMPLEXES. WE’LL HAVE MORE TOMORROW. AND IN FACT, ALL OF THE GUIDANCE THROUGHOUT THE WEEK. WHILE IT IS SUGGESTED AT LEAST THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER, YOU KNOW, MONDAY WHEN WE HAD THE TORNADO WARNINGS AND THEN ON TUESDAY WHEN WE HAD SOME EARLY DAY STORMS, AND THEN LIKE TODAY WHEN WE HAD STORMS EARLY IN THE MORNING AND THEN JUST KIND OF CROSS TO THE SOUTH. THURSDAY HAS BEEN THE REAL BEACON. THAT’S BEEN THE DAY IN WHICH EVERYTHING HAS REALLY BEEN FOCUSED ON BEING MOST CONCERNING. SO WE’LL SEE HOW THINGS PLAY OUT TOMORROW. I’LL TALK ABOUT THAT HERE MORE IN JUST A MOMENT. BUT TONIGHT, I DON’T EXPECT A LOT OF ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY TONIGHT. BUT I AM NOT GOING TO RULE OUT A DOWNPOUR OR EVEN A FEW MORE ADDITIONAL STORMS. I JUST DON’T THINK WE HAVE TO CONTEND WITH SEVERE WEATHER OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. SO THAT BEING SAID, YOU CAN SEE OCCASIONALLY THESE LITTLE QUICK DOWNPOURS THAT FLARE UP ONE BETWEEN FAIRFIELD HEADING TOWARDS FOREST PARK. THEY’RE GOING TO CROSS 127, MAYBE ANOTHER ONE THAT’S POPPED UP IN THE WESTCHESTER AREA AGAIN, I WON’T RULE OUT MORE RAIN TONIGHT. FOR SOME OF US, IT WON’T BE SEVERE THOUGH YOU COULD CERTAINLY HEAR A RUMBLE OF THUNDER. TOMORROW, THOUGH, IS A DIFFERENT STORY. I THINK THERE’S A BETTER THAN NOT CHANCE WE DEAL WITH MORE SEVERE WEATHER TOMORROW ACROSS THE TRI-STATE. WE’VE YET TO KIND OF BE DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY ONE OF THESE BIG COMPLEXES. WE’VE BEEN VERY LUCKY. THEY’VE EITHER SKIRTED JUST NORTH OR JUST SOUTH, AND WE’VE JUST KIND OF BEEN GETTING GRAZED. INDICATIONS ARE TOMORROW THAT MAY BE A DIFFERENT STORY FOR US. SO THROUGH THE NIGHT, THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME SPOTTY SHOWERS OUT THERE, THERE COULD EVEN BE A FEW SPOTTY SHOWERS AROUND THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF THE DAY TOMORROW. I DO THINK, THOUGH, AS YOU’LL SEE, STORMS ARE OUT WEST TONIGHT. WHAT’S LEFT OF SOME OF THOSE WILL BEGIN ROLLING OUR WAY AFTER LUNCHTIME. AND THIS IS WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT HERE. A COMPLEX OF STORMS THAT COMES THROUGH IN THE AFTERNOON. NOTICE HOW IT KIND OF HAS THAT BOWING SIGNATURE OR WHAT WE CALL THAT BACKWARD C SHAPE. WELL, IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN THE SEVERITY OF THESE STORMS. SO WE KNOW THAT WE WILL HAVE SHOWERS AND STORMS TOMORROW. MOST OF US WILL AT LEAST RECEIVE SOME RAIN. THE QUESTION IS ON THE SEVERITY. OF COURSE, THE LONGER WE STAY WARM AND SUNNY TOMORROW, THE GREATER THE LIKELIHOOD, THE MORE INTENSE THE STORMS WILL BE. THAT COMPLEX BLOWS OUT OF HERE. WE SHOULD GET QUIET FOR A FEW HOURS TOMORROW NIGHT. AND THEN WITH THE STORM CENTER ESSENTIALLY PARKED RIGHT ON TOP OF US ON FRIDAY, WATCH WHAT HAPPENS. SHOWERS AND STORMS SHOULD BE FAIRLY WIDESPREAD. AND ON FRIDAY, AS WELL. I THINK WE’VE GOT A DECENT SHOT AT MORE SEVERE WEATHER AROUND HERE, SO THAT’S SOMETHING TO KEEP AN EYE ON OVER THE NEXT TWO DAYS. I THINK THE SEVERE THREAT KIND OF PEAKS FOR US TOMORROW AND FRIDAY. WE’RE AT 70 RIGHT NOW. HUMIDITY AT NEARLY 100%, SO WE’LL SINK DOWN INTO THE LOW TO MID 70S OVERNIGHT. WE’LL KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR MAYBE A FEW DOWNPOURS FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. OTHERWISE, GENERALLY QUIET NIGHT. AS I SHOWED YOU ON RADAR, THERE ARE A FEW DOWNPOURS OUT THERE AND I CAN’T RULE OUT A RUMBLE OF THUNDER TONIGHT. WEATHER IMPACT DAY TOMORROW. EARLY DOWNPOUR, STEAMY SUN AND THEN THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER IN THE AFTERNOON AND WELL, THERE COULD BE THE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS OR STORMS AT ANY TIME ON YOUR THURSDAY. HERE’S YOUR SEVEN DAY FORECAST. SO WE’RE AT 91 TOMORROW. THERE’S YOUR SHOWER AND STORM THREAT ON FRIDAY WITH ANOTHER WEATHER IMPACT DAY. I’M HOLDING OFF ON MAKING SATURDAY A WEATHER IMPACT DAY, BUT THERE CERTAINLY WILL BE SOME RAIN EARLY IN THE DAY. LET’S SEE HOW THAT PLAYS OUT. OTHERWISE. MIKE AND SHEREE, ARE YOU READY FOR THE RETURN OF SOME AUGUST HEAT GOING INTO NEXT WEEK? WE’RE TALKING HIGHS IN THE 90S, AS WE MAY AT LEAST TEMPORARILY, KIND OF SHUT DOWN THE STORM TRAIN AND LET THAT AUGUST SUN
