A line of Broken Showers and Storms Possible this afternoon

Thursday, April 27, 2017 - 8:26am

We could see a few isolated showers and storms this afternoon. Some of the storms could be on the strong side but I don't see anything severe to worry with at this point. As we move through the day we will see a high of around 78º

 

 

The rain appears to move in later this afternoon based on current models between 3 & 4pm. showers and storms will be isolated as the line of storms breaks apart as it moves through the mountains and foothills.

 

 

Some of the storms do have a chance to become strong as the CAPE levels appear to be a bit elevated as we go through the afternoon hours.

 

 

There could be a few strong gusty winds during the storms as well as there appears to be a setup for some upper level shear in the atmosphere.My biggest concern is the already saturated ground could help some trees topple over.

 

 

The low tonight will bottom our at around 62º

 

 

I will continue to monitor and keep an eye on the models and radar as showers and storms continue to move closer to the county. Updates will be provided right here on the website as well as on social media. As always thank you for following Rowan County Weather!
