FORECAST: Ingredients in place for scattered showers

Updated: 8 hours ago

Two areas of low pressure continue to traverse the central plains, one with the Nebraska and the other, entering in from southern Colorado. Both areas of low pressure have developed warm fronts that have lifted warm, moist unstable air from the gulf coast, and the southern, central plains. These are the right ingredients to produce scattered shower and week thunderstorm activity throughout the morning into the afternoon. It will also keep temperatures seasonally cool within the upper 40s and lower 50s towards the end of the day. Between 1/10 of an inch and 1/4 of an inch of rainfall is expected for our Tuesday. Heavy downpours short-lived at times are expected, so do take caution commuting this morning into the early afternoon. We will take a break from scattered shower activity through the overnight into much of the morning of Wednesday but the low-pressure system from Colorado will begin to impact the metro by the end of the day.
