The potential for afternoon rain and storms could threaten Game 2 of the Crosstown Classic Wednesday.
While morning thunderstorms moved through the region quickly, sparking numerous severe thunderstorm alerts, another round of potentially strong storms is possible during the afternoon and evening hours.
“We’re seeing some clearing now, which isn’t a good thing,” NBC 5 Storm Team Meteorologist Kevin Jeanes. “So I expect we’ll get some storm redevelopment this afternoon. Really any time after 1 p.m. through sunset has a chance of a storm.”
The storms Wednesday morning moved in from the west to the east, but the afternoon round will be traveling northwest to southeast, Jeanes said, adding that some could “be strong enough to have damaging [wind] gusts again.”
Where exactly these storms will pop up and how late the weather could continue remains to be seen.
Jeanes said conditions are changing “by the hour” and the National Weather Service reported there “remains some uncertainty as to whether storms can develop.” If they do, however, “they will be capable of all hazards.” That could include damaging winds and hail, brief tornadoes and heavy rain.
“We should be done with storms after this next round,” Jeanes said. “Rain chances go down tonight but it’s going to stay humid.”
