NEXT big weather change
Monday and Tuesday we rinse and repeat our one-two punch of severe storms and winter blast, prompting our weather team to issue a NEXT Weather Alert for both days.
Monday, a gusty south wind pushes temperatures to the upper 60s and low 70s. It will be mostly cloudy, with scattered showers early in the morning and isolated T-storms at noon.
Late Monday afternoon, an extremely strong cold front approaches, triggering pockets of heavy rain and strong to severe storms during the evening.
Damaging winds, large hail, localized flooding, and brief isolated tornadoes are all possible at this point.
Behind the front, another blast of cold spreads across the region with a wintry mix and wet snow late Monday night.
Highs on Tuesday (St. Patrick’s Day) will be in the 30s with gusty winds creating a wind chill in the 20s.
