Humidity will increase into the overnight tonight as a line of showers and isolated storms move into the Tri-State after midnight. This will bring in widespread showers for much of the area between 12 a.m. and 7 a.m. We could see some decent downpours with this rain. But the good news is that severe weather is not expected.
That may be a different story for the afternoon Tuesday. The morning could still bring a few isolated showers or storms on Tuesday, but they don't look widespread. It's the afternoon and evening hours that a new line of showers and storms should form and this is when we see the chance for severe weather. The Storm Prediction Center has the western part of the Tri-State in a "marginal risk" of severe weather. Right now, damaging wind gusts and isolated tornadoes are possible and are our main impacts.
The timing of these storms will be determined on that early morning rainfall and the speed of the cold front. Most models bring storms in between 3-7 p.m., but it could last as late as 9 p.m. for some spots.
Behind this system, the forecast goes pretty quiet for a few days, including Reds Opening Day. We'll end up with a high of 57° on Thursday with a mostly sunny sky. Winds will be breezy at times from the northwest at 10 to 15 mph. But the main story is that we will be dry!
That may not be the case for the holiday weekend with rain chances Friday through Monday.
Finally, today in weather history, the first Tornado Forecast was issued by two Air Force meteorologists after a devastating tornado hit their base. Then, they saw the similar atmosphere just five days later triggering their tornado forecast.
