Some of us will have a few more hours to deal with some potentially rough weather early Tuesday and Tuesday morning before we dry out with cooler temperatures and strong, gusty winds. Once we get this strong cold front out of the way, we’re already looking ahead at the potential for another severe weather event in just a few days.

Our cold front brought some much-needed rainfall with a few flooding problems, plus tornado warnings, power outages, and hail. We’ll have some more power outages possible as the entire state will have strong, gusty winds Tuesday with wind gusts up to 50 miles per hour.

These are gradient winds and are likely even after storms move out. Once the front moves out, it’s going to be a cold, blustery night Tuesday.

After we dry out a couple days, we’re watching our next system coming into the region Thursday night into Friday. The Storm Prediction Center has already placed much of the state under a Level 2 risk.
