Strong T'Storms this Week?

After some relatively dry weather recently in the Quad Cities the chance for showers/t'storms is back this week!  While rain totals should not be overly impressive strong winds could prove to be a big problem!  Warm and dry weather will be locked in place across the Southeastern U.S. and in the Quad Cities we'll find our selves right on the edge of this heat dome.  Our temps will climb above normal (into the mid 80s) and we'll run the risk of strong t-storms forming along the edge of this hot weather. 

You might have heard "ring of fire" this week and what that means is around the periphery of the high pressure anchored in the SE you find active t-storms that sometimes provide strong and damaging winds.  Check out this surface map from the NWS WPC and note the high pressure in the SE and the warm front draped across the Quad Cities...

And here are the severe weather risks from the Storm Prediciton center for this week, again our biggest threats will come from damaging winds if we see any severe weather! 


Tuesday (especially late at night)

Wednesday (evening t-storms possible)
