As we look ahead to the midweek forecast, Meteorologist Steve Caporizzo provides us with the latest updates on what to expect in the coming days. Today saw a few strong to severe storms developing, especially in Warren County just west of Lake George. The severe thunderstorm in Warren County this afternoon produced hail and gusty winds, with some hail reaching nickel size. Thanks to the reports from Rick Bennett and Martha Dedrick, we were able to track these weather developments accurately.
Surface Maps and Weather Patterns
Looking at the latest surface maps, a disturbance east of us this afternoon brought scattered showers and thunderstorms to the region. This system is expected to weaken tonight as a ridge of high pressure builds in, setting the stage for a nice Tuesday characterized by warm temperatures and comfortable humidity levels. However, the weather is set to take a turn on Wednesday as a strong cold front arrives from the west, bringing showers and thunderstorms followed by cooler and drier air.
Futurecast Predictions
On Tuesday, we can anticipate high pressure moving in from the west, bringing slightly drier conditions, more sunshine, and continued warm temperatures. Wednesday will see a cold front dropping southward, leading to the development of a band of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. It is crucial to monitor these weather conditions closely as there is a potential for some of these storms to become stronger.
The Next 48 Hours Outlook
For tonight, any remaining showers or storms are expected to come to an end, with clearing skies and patchy fog developing. Tuesday is forecasted to be partly sunny and warm, setting the stage for a pleasant day. Wednesday will bring a mix of sun and clouds, along with breezy conditions and warmer temperatures. Scattered showers and potentially heavier thunderstorms are likely, with a marginal to slight risk of severe storms in the forecast.
7 and 10 Day Weather Forecast
Looking further ahead, Tuesday is shaping up to be a nice day before showers and thunderstorms make their way into the area on Wednesday. Cooler and drier conditions are expected for the end of the week. As we approach the holiday weekend, showers and thunderstorms are likely on Saturday, but the weather is set to improve for Sunday and Labor Day.
In conclusion, the midweek forecast brings a mix of weather conditions ranging from nice and warm to potentially stormy and cooler. It is essential to stay informed and prepared for any changes in the weather patterns as we head into the coming days. Stay tuned for further updates and be mindful of any severe weather alerts that may be issued.
