Strong to severe storm chances going up

CHIEF METEOROLOGIST JAY CARDOSI. OKAY. AS WE TALKED ABOUT AT THE TOP OF THE NEWSCAST, YEAH, WE DO HAVE SOME ACTIVE WEATHER ON THE WAY TOMORROW AFTERNOON, LATE AFTERNOON, TOMORROW EVENING. ONE WAVE OF POTENTIALLY STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS. ANOTHER ONE COMING IN LATE WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT. SO LET’S GET TO IT. HEY, EARLIER TODAY, SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS OUT THERE. NOTHING SEVERE, BUT NONETHELESS, LAST NIGHT THROUGH TODAY ABOUT THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH OF RAIN OFFICIALLY IN TOWN. SOME AREAS OUTSIDE THE METRO. 1 TO 2IN 76 AND 66. THE EXTREMES. RIGHT NOW IT’S CLEAR. IT’S NICE. 70 DEGREES. HUMIDITY IS KIND OF HIGH, SO WATCH OUT FOR A LITTLE BIT OF VALLEY FOG TRYING TO FORM AS THE NIGHT WEARS ON WITH A CALM BREEZE EXPECTED PRETTY MUCH ALL NIGHT. SO THE SYSTEM THAT BROUGHT US THE SCATTERED SHOWERS OF EARLIER THIS DAY NOW WELL OFF TO THE EAST, THINGS ARE QUIET AND NOW WE’RE LOOKING OFF TO THE WEST OF US. LOOK AT THIS MAMMOTH BLOB OF SHOWERS AND STORMS STRETCHING FROM THE EASTERN DAKOTAS THROUGH OMAHA, DOWN TO CASEY TO NEAR OKLAHOMA CITY. THIS ENTIRE REGION, THIS PALE SHADE OF PINK TORNADO WATCHES FLASHING ON YOUR SCREEN. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS WITH OCCASIONAL TORNADO WARNINGS MIXED IN AND EVERYTHING BEING KICKED OFF BY THIS STORM SYSTEM THAT’S MOVING IN OUR DIRECTION. BUT IT’S GOING TO COME AT US IN PIECES. AND ONE OF THOSE PIECES WILL ARRIVE LATER TOMORROW. TOMORROW EVENING AND AS A RESULT, WE’LL PICK UP DECENT CHANCES FOR SOME SCATTERED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS. NOW HERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW. NO BIG PROBLEMS RIGHT? TOMORROW MORNING WE’RE GOING TO WAKE UP JUST FINE SEVERAL HOURS TOMORROW MORNING WE’RE IN GOOD SHAPE. AND THEN A COUPLE OF WIDELY SCATTERED STORMS WILL TRY TO FORM MIDDAY TODAY. THOSE MOVE EAST AND THEN IT’S RIGHT AROUND DINNERTIME TOMORROW EVENING FOR SEVERAL HOURS. TOMORROW NIGHT WE’LL HAVE MORE SCATTERED STORMS. AT THAT TIME, THIS IS OUR FIRST CHANCE FOR SOME STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS. AGAIN, THE ENTIRE VIEWING AREA HAS A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER WITH THAT ACTIVITY, ON A SCALE OF 1 TO 5, THIS IS A TWO. SO WE’RE TALKING WIDELY SCATTERED STORMS, NOT EVERYBODY WILL SEE THIS FIRST BATCH. LATE TOMORROW AND TOMORROW EVENING, BUT NONETHELESS, ANY OF THE HEAVIER CORES ALL HAZARDS ARE ON THE TABLE HERE. I’M TALKING HAIL, DAMAGING WINDS, MAYBE AN ISOLATED SPIN-UP AS WELL. AND AGAIN, THE TIMING. LATE DAY ON INTO THE EVENING. NOW WE JUMP AHEAD TO WEDNESDAY MORNING. WE’RE FINE. SOME SUNSHINE THINGS ARE QUIET, QUIET FOR MUCH OF THE DAY. THEN WATCH WHAT HAPPENS. BOOM. LATE AFTERNOON ON INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE NEXT ROUND OF SHOWERS AND STORMS COMES. THIS IS THE TIME PERIOD I BELIEVE WE HAVE THE GREATEST THREAT FOR WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS THE W-L-K-Y VIEWING AREA. FOR THAT REASON, WE HAVE AN ENHANCED RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER AND A SCALE OF 1 TO 5. THIS IS A THREE, FOLKS. WE’RE GOING TO BE HERE NO MATTER WHAT. KEEPING YOU UP TO DATE TOMORROW. TOMORROW NIGHT, WEDNESDAY WEDNESDAY NIGHT. WE GOT YOU COVERED RIGHT HERE ON WLKY. LET’S CHECK THE FORECAST NOW. OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, FEW CLOUDS AND MILD. WATCH OUT FOR A LITTLE BIT OF VALLEY FOG. 66 ON THE LOW DETAIL 12 HOUR FORECAST TOMORROW. IT’S QUIET IN THE MORNING. A COUPLE OF WIDELY SCATTERED STORMS. POSSIBLE MIDDAY AND THEN THAT THREAT FOR A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS LATE AFTERNOON ON INTO TOMORROW NIGHT. WE’LL PICK UP YET ANOTHER THREAT FOR SOME SEVERE STORMS LATE WEDNESDAY, WEDNESDAY NIGHT. AND THEN RICK WERE DONE WITH THIS SYSTEM. THINGS QUIET DOWN THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. THE WEEKEND. A COUPLE OF STORMS ARE POSSIBLE SATURDAY RIGHT NOW, THE PICK OF THE WEEKEND. HOW FITTING. YEAH, MOM’S DAY RIGHT? RIGHT AROUND 70 WITH DRY SKIES
