Meteorologist April Loveland's First Warning Forecast

A front is stalled over the area right now. After some morning showers, we're seeing partly sunny skies. The heating of the day could spark some storms later this evening as a disturbance moves across the area. The Storm Prediction Center has most of the area in a Level 1 for severe weather, which means an isolated strong to severe storm is not out of the question. The biggest threat will be damaging wind gusts, heavy rain, and hail. It will be mild today with highs ranging from the mid and upper 60s along the coast to the low 70s inland. Any showers or storms that form will move out by late evening. Expect dry conditions overnight with lows in the low 50s. A dry start Tuesday with increasing rain chances by the afternoon as another disturbance moves through the area. We will once again have a chance to see an isolated severe storm. The Storm Prediction Center has the entire area under a Level 1, which means an isolated severe storm is not out of the question. The biggest threat will be damaging wind gusts and hail. It will be even warmer with highs in the mid 70s. Wednesday is looking a bit uncertain. A weak cold front will move across the area, which could bring a chance for some storms. The Storm Prediction Center has the entire area under a Level 1 for isolated severe storms. The models are still not in agreement if we'll see storms or not. Right now, keeping a slight 20 percent chance. It will be the warmest day of the week with highs near the 80 degree mark. Another cold front will move through on Thursday, but doesn't have a ton of moisture associated with it. Keeping a slight 20 percent chance. Temperatures will be warm again with highs in the mid 70s.
