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.
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.
