Some U.S. Threats
As severe weather threatens later this week, be sure to tune into the Weather Lab meteorologists for the latest. Then, for a live forecast discussion tune into my show “Upstream” on the web each night this week at 11 pm.
The activation of a storm track, fueled in part by warm El Nino waters in the central Pacific, will cause some hazards over portions of the U.S. this week.
For the Ozarks, we will be mild through Saturday with increasing wind as a storm develops to our west. Expect highs in the fifties with an occasional run at sixty. Rain showers are possible later tonight and through Thursday but there should be plenty of dry hours in between. There may be some thunder in the Ozarks tonight with small hail mainly east and south of Springfield.
More thunderstorms are possible Saturday along a cold front. The southern portion of the Ozarks is tagged as a possible severe weather area on Saturday. Severe weather should be more common in the southern and southeastern U.S. as the map above shows.
The storm track will continue to bring storms into California. The result will be high winds and surf, heavy rain and snow and possible severe storms especially today.
