Severe Weather Alert: Showers and Thunderstorms Expected in Southern States

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — On and off showers are expected to move through the area overnight and into the early hours of Tuesday morning. A disturbance moving in from the north will likely keep scattered showers in the forecast for Southern Nevada.

The day will start with mild temperatures in the mid-70s but rain is anticipated to move east on Wednesday. After this front passes, warmer and drier weather is expected through the remainder of the week. Temperatures are predicted to rise to the low 80s on Wednesday and into the upper 80s on Thursday.

Meanwhile, this weekend could bring temperatures well into the 90s, with First Alert Weather Days announced for Sunday and Monday due to stronger winds in the forecast. Updated conditions will be monitored closely as storms develop later today, especially for areas west of Churchill Downs.

In Phoenix, a cluster of showers and some embedded thunderstorms have also been noted, with some areas receiving close to an inch of rainfall. This wet weather is attributed to a large area of low pressure centered over the Valley, expected to move east.

Tuesday morning’s forecast includes wet roads and a chance of light mountain snowfall. Highs will be below average at just 75 degrees, 16 degrees cooler than usual for this time of year. Most rain will taper off by mid-morning, allowing temperatures to slightly rebound to a high of 84 degrees on Wednesday.

As the low pressure system moves away, a strong ridge of high pressure will build, leading to even hotter weather with highs projected to reach the mid-90s on Thursday and hitting triple digits by the weekend.
