Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey's First Warning Forecast

A week ago we were warning folks about the chance for frost. Today, we had high temperatures close to 90 degrees in some spots.

But a cold front will bring an end to the unusually warm spring weather and also brings showers and storms.

But Tuesday will be another unusually warm day. We'll climb well into the 80s once again.

We'll start the day with clear skies. But by the afternoon, clouds will begin to roll in ahead of our midweek cold front.

We should wake up to dry weather on Wednesday morning. But as the day moves on, we expect scattered showers and possibly storms to develop.

Right now, we're not looking at a big threat for severe weather. However, this is part of the same system that brought deadly storms in the Midwest. So we will be on the lookout for any severe storm threat.

Storms should clear out Wednesday evening and our temperatures should ease quite a bit as we head into Thursday. Most of us will only climb into the lower 70s, under partly cloudy skies.

The forecast is much the same on Friday. But we'll see more clouds develop Friday evening ahead of another system that may bring us some wet weather this weekend. Stay tuned.
