The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Chief Meteorologist Kevin Craig: Warmer air comes into the area this week, but our weather will be turning much more active as well. Today will be very warm with highs in the upper 60s to lower 70s. Tonight into Tuesday morning, shower and storm chances begin to increase. The Storm Prediction Center has put the area in a level one marginal risk for severe weather for this time. Right now, it looks like a few stronger storms will be possible with gusty winds or hail being the main threats. On Tuesday, We've issued a FOX 17 WEATHER READY ALERT! A cold front will bring showers and storms on Tuesday with highs in the upper 60s. There may be a few different rounds...perhaps one in the early morning, then additional storms in the afternoon/evening before the cold front clears the area. Some of these storms may contain some large hail or gusty winds. We remain in a level two SLIGHT RISK of severe storms on Tuesday. Another system will move in for Thursday. This one looks like mostly rain but with some colder air around, we will need to keep an eye on the rain mixing in with some snow showers or freezing rain early Thursday morning. It's possible some locations could see 2" to 3" of rain by the end of this week.
