Thunderstorms to bring repeated downpours to the Upper Midwest
As we head to Wisconsin now where severe thunderstorms are bringing heavy rain, Justin, yeah, look at that gutter gushing downpours here as a scene earlier on. You know, as we go throughout the evening into the overnight, if anything, we'll be looking at the more numerous thunderstorms developing here into a Wisconsin as well as into a Minnesota. Let's take a look here as we go toward that 9:00 to 10:00 time frame. Heavy rain coming down from these thunderstorms as well and that could result in a flash flood potential as we evolve through time and then look at these lines lifting their way quickly up from the South. It's just a a pipeline of moisture as streaming its way off to the north and that will set the stage for additional thunderstorms as we head our way into Tuesday. But a warm night here only dropping into the mid and the upper 70s around Omaha, Des Moines, Kansas City, even toward a Sioux Falls where there can be a some thunderstorms going on here throughout the late night Chicago warm night as well. So make sure you're finding ways to stay cool. As we've talked about the heat wave not only by the afternoon high temperatures, but also the impacts that felt at night where there's not much relief and more storms all the way here. Like I said on Tuesday, with that to rich moisture surging its way N meeting up with cool drier air, a moderate risk implying numerous severe thunderstorms stretching from Nebraska into a northeastern Minnesota where flash flooding, hail, isolated tornadoes and damaging winds will all be a possibility. There's a rather large flood watch out. And this is going to be due to the repetitive nature of showers and thunderstorms on a daily basis that going forward throughout today, tonight into Tuesday and even as we work our way into a Wednesday. In fact, I'll show you the overall setup here for these repeated downpours this week. Like I said, it all boils down to a collision of the air masses, jet stream energy lifting its way well off toward the north and that allows the hot and the humid air to surge north and meet up with cooler and drier air that is being experienced over the intermountain, the northwest. And this could cause some huge travel delays, the potential for flight cancellations having a big impact on outdoor plans. And as I mentioned here with numerous rounds of storms comes to concern of flash flooding.
