Windy and stormy Wednesday

Windy and stormy Wednesday, highs climb into the 70s and a few rounds of storms are possible. The severe threat window is rather wide, 9:00a to 5:00p with the timeframe around 1:00p being the most likely time of concern. All threats are possible, damaging wind, hail and tornadoes. Storms or not, it will be windy, non-storm wind gusts will top 45 mph, Wednesday afternoon. You should have the ABC57 First Warning Weather App to get important weather updates and alerts.

Storms before noon, could influence how storms develop in the afternoon. A hopeful situation is storm energy is dispersed and not built into a higher afternoon climax, with stronger storms as the cold front moves through the area. The weather the rest of the week is fair, through Ester Sunday.

Tonight: Scattered thunderstorms. Low 62.

Wednesday: Thunderstorms. Windy. High 72.

Thursday: Sunny. High 50.

Friday: Sunny. High 54.
