A Tornado Watch is in effect for the entire Tri-State through 6 a.m. Wednesday. Tornadoes are possible with scattered hail and wind gusts up to 70 miles per hour possible.
It's a 9 First Warning Weather Alert Day as we are under the gun for potential severe storms.
The Storm Prediction Center has now placed us as "enhanced risk" for severe storms into Wednesday, making the threat more likely across the Tri-State. This is for storm activity that passes through between now and 6 a.m. Wednesday.
Damaging wind gusts, large hail and isolated tornadoes are all possible with this system. And given the time of night, it's important to ensure you have some weather alert system set up to wake you up in the event of a tornado warning. A weather radio or a weather app like Storm Shield can provide such alert.
The cold front, which helps bring in the storms, will pass early in the morning on Wednesday and from there our temperatures will fall rapidly. Our high temperature for the day will likely be before sunrise. We'll be in the mid 50s at 8 a.m. but by midday our temperatures will likely be in the 30s. Worse off, the wind will stay breezy from the northwest at 10 to 20 mph, gusting to 30 mph. That will make it feel even colder outside.
