WINDY WITH RECORD WARMTH, THEN SOAKING RAIN & STORMS TONIGHT

Soaring Temperatures

Get ready for a wild ride in the weather department! Today, we're expecting record-breaking warmth, with temperatures soaring into the 70s across much of the region.

This surge in warmth is courtesy of strong southerly winds, which are also whipping up some gusty conditions. So, while you might be tempted to shed that winter coat, be sure to hold on to your hat!

Soaking Rain

The warm-up won't last forever, though. By tonight, a cold front will sweep through, bringing with it a dramatic change in weather.

Rain will start to fall around sunset, and it's expected to be heavy at times. As the night progresses, there's also a chance of thunderstorms, so be sure to keep an eye on the forecast.

Stormy Conditions

The storms tonight could bring gusty winds, hail, and even tornadoes. While the risk is relatively low, it's important to be aware of the potential for severe weather.

If you hear thunder, be sure to seek shelter indoors immediately. And if you see any signs of a tornado, such as a funnel cloud or rotating debris, take cover in a basement or interior room on the lowest floor.

Safety First

With the potential for severe weather, it's crucial to take precautions to stay safe.

• Avoid driving through flooded areas.
• Be aware of downed power lines and trees.
• Have a plan in place in case of a tornado warning.

By following these safety tips, you can help ensure your safety during tonight's stormy weather.

Get Ready

So, there you have it! A wild weather day is on the way. Be sure to bundle up for the warmth today, and prepare for rain and storms tonight.
