Watching storm risk today
After the first round of storms earlier this morning, conditions will remain quiet for a few hours before another round of rain and storms is expected during the afternoon and early evening hours.
This second wave will pose a marginal risk for severe storms through the afternoon hours.
Greater risk for severe storms will be in N.C. late this afternoon and evening. A cold front arrives early this evening putting an end to the storm risk.
Record warmth this week
A summer-like pattern is expected mid to late this week with some incredible warmth for early April. Highs on Wednesday will be near 80, while mid to upper 80s are looking likely Thursday and Friday. Current records stand at 82 degrees on Thursday, and 83 degrees on Friday.
Storm risk staying north
While temperatures will approach record highs in the Tri-Cities on Thursday and Friday, active storms will become more widespread to our north and west where another round of severe storms will be possible over middle Tennessee and central/northern Kentucky Wednesday into Thursday.
Our risk for severe storms will be isolated on Thursday while the majority of active storms remain north.
Active storms this weekend
Another storm system will approach the region this weekend bringing back the storm risk to the region on Sunday. Rain and storms look likely Sunday afternoon into Sunday night.
