Weather Summary:
We are tracking scattered showers and thunderstorms across the Tri-Cities region. Some of these storms may become strong to severe again on Wednesday. A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms will continue overnight with lows dropping into the upper 50s to lower 60s.
A strong cold front stretches from the Great Lakes region to the southern Plains. This front has been producing dangerous and severe thunderstorms since this past weekend. The front will push sluggishly eastward the next couple of days, and not move through the southern Appalachian region until Thursday night. Showers and thunderstorms will be likely, especially from later in the day Wednesday into Wednesday night.
Some of the storms through Wednesday night could be on the strong to locally severe side. Heavy rain, dangerous lightning, some hail, and strong winds will be the main concerns with any storm the next day or two. Stay with the StormTrack 5 Weather Team as we track any severe potential that might develop over the Tri-Cities region.
A lingering shower is possible Friday morning, but clearing is expected for the Memorial Day weekend. It will turn cooler as well behind the front with temperatures only reaching the 60s on Friday. Lows Friday night could dip into the upper 30s to lower 40s.
A mostly sunny sky is expected Saturday and Sunday with highs reaching the 70s. Memorial Day may offer up an afternoon or evening thunderstorm, with a continued chance of showers/thunderstorms on Tuesday. Seasonal temperatures in the 70s with lows in the upper 40s to lower 50s are expected through early next week.
Our normal high is 77, low 53.
