April 13 Severe Weather Day: Storm And Wind Timeline

Monday April 13 2020

Today is going to be a rough weather day. It has already started with early morning storms that have produced local flooding and wind damage. We still have a risk for severe storms into the afternoon that may produce large hail and isolated tornadoes.

Here is a look at the storm threat with two timeline sliders: Radar Simulation and Wind Direction/Speed Timeline. Also see my notes and suggestions, the daily Weather Collection Lab, and chance for snow Wednesday morning.

Severe Storm Risk

🌪 Isolated Tornados

🧊 Large Hail over 1 inch diameter

💨 Wind Gusts 50 to 70 mph

🌧 Flash Flooding with heavy downpours

 

Morning Radar Loop

We have already seen over 1 inch of rain and flash flooding. This loop is 3 hours up to 9 AM

 

Storm Simulation —> slider

The High Wind Warning signals gusts widespread between 50 and 70 mph.  This is in addition to the storm risk, but what is more important to consider is the soggy, soft soil from the rain AND the changing direction of the wind. The strongest winds may come as or just after the line of storms passes by, getting that push (or punch) from another direction.

Forecast Animation

The cold air following this storm will bring in a disturbance on Wednesday morning. There will be snow mixed in between midnight and sunrise. It likely will not stick, but inland areas might get a quick coating.  The temps remain chilly into the weekend.

 

Temperature Outlook

After the chance for wet snow and the winds ease, we could have frost inland Thursday and Friday mornings.
