Tuesday’s severe weather

Tuesday will be a pretty wet day as widespread showers and storms are expected for the majority of the afternoon. These storms have the potential to be strong to severe with gusty winds.

TIMELINE: Severe weather threat today includes strong winds, heavy rain and tornadoes

After lunchtime, a squall line will develop along the incoming cold front, which could produce damaging winds and isolated tornadoes, especially for those south of I-10.

We should see the severe weather threat diminish at about 6 p.m. for those towards the west as the cold front pushes toward the coast.

Behind the front, temperatures will remain at or below normal for the remainder of January! In fact, a freeze is possible for some areas Thursday and Friday morning.
