Marty’s Wednesday Evening Forecast – Few Showers/Storms South – 6/8/2022
Overview: We're tracking warmer air and another chance for strong thunderstorms.
Tonight: We expect isolated showers and thunderstorms south of the Arkansas River this evening, then partly cloudy for the rest of the night. Low temperatures in the 50s for the plains with 40s over the mountains and high mountain valleys.
Thursday: Partly to mostly cloudy, breezy at times, and warmer with high temperatures in the 80s and 90s for the plains, 70s and 80s for the mountains and high mountain valleys. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are more likely over more of the area Thursday afternoon. Over and near the mountains the storms should be generally weak with brief downpours, gusty wind, and some lightning. Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms could develop east of I-25 during the afternoon and evening with heavy rain, large hail, and damaging wind gusts possible.
Extended: Isolated showers and maybe a little thunder are possible on Friday, mainly over and near the mountains, but the threat for severe weather looks lower, and in most cases we don’t expect a lot of rain. We’ll remain partly cloudy and breezy with limited chances for rain through the weekend. High temperatures are expected to reach the 80s and 90s along the I-25 corridor, 90s to lower 100s for the southeastern plains, and 70s and 80s for the mountains and high mountain valleys. Some cooler air may arrive around Tuesday and Wednesday, and possibly result in a better chance for more thunderstorms over parts of the area.
