Sharp Front Sparks More Severe Chances Late Week

It's the season of swings! Baseball counts but that's not what we're talking about right now. Temperature swings! Another front is going to drop through the Midwest later this week, igniting another round of severe chances.

Temperatures will climb this week ahead of our approaching front, soaring into the 70's and 80's by Wednesday and Thursday. That should provide enough fuel for storms by the end of the week. Right now, the Storm Prediction Center is highlighting areas in the mid Mississippi River and Ohio River Valleys with the highest chance on Thursday.

The biggest concern right now appears to be damaging winds as storms drop south along the front Thursday afternoon and evening. However, this early in the forecast is too soon to eliminate threats.

With a front that is going to be moving somewhat briskly, flooding doesn't appear to be a big concern, but the Weather Prediction Center is watching Indiana and Ohio for slow-moving storms.

Timing

Some rain will likely be ongoing Thursday morning. Watch as they drop south into better ingredients by the afternoon
