A high risk of fire continues on Monday, Triad severe storm risk during the week

IN ORDER. Thank you for this live report. The time is now 518. On our Monday morning to our prediction here, especially before a business weather week, it seems like. That's correct. IT IS. But today is quiet, Brian. RIGHT. It's calm. So we still have this high risk of fire. And we'll talk about it too. But we see on Wednesday as potentially effective with some very strong winds. Regardless of whether we have storms or not. But all the storms that flare up could also be serious. So quiet days. The temperatures were 48 degrees in the afternoon yesterday. Much, much colder than the 72 degrees that we posted as high on Saturday. We were nine degrees under the norm. After a cool start at 28 degrees in the morning. And we have some areas that are currently colder. Winston-Salem up to 27. After we had briefly dropped to 25, we are currently at 19 degrees in Burlington. We have a very dry air and have a clear sky that helps to lower these temperatures this morning. However, you will recover. Southwest Winde With five with a light blue sky, the heights will take back today in the lower 50s. This afternoon should be about 53 degrees in the triad. Maybe one or two coolers in the counties Surry and Stokes, Yadkin and Wilkes later with a southern breeze at five. Berg highs will probably not escape. However, the 40s are in the middle of the upper 40s. Not a bad day to be outside. Not much wind to add the cold factor, but it is dry. Sometimes we have some gusty winds in the prediction that travel to the prediction of Tuesday and Wednesday, but things are a tinderbox out there, most likely because we have a lot of dry fuel on the floor for dead or resting vegetation. So both the foothills and the triad under an extreme fire risk that we have already seen over the weekend, which happens in the whole state and in large parts of the region. Here too, dry conditions are expected. I don't think that will really read this week later this week. We have some rain in, but even then the winds become pretty gusty. Area of ​​the showers that now cross the Mississippi. I go west from there. Parts of Oklahoma and Nordtexas under the weapon for some strong thunderstorms that will develop tomorrow. Could see some tornadoes that develop. Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas. That seems to be where the bull's eye will be. Some very strong winds, regardless of whether we see tornados there or not. And then on Tuesday evening until early Wednesday, the focus begins to shift to the Carolinas. We could see wind gusts regardless of thunderstorms that drill from strong winds in the lower level of up to about 40 km / h. If storms get a little better, individual cells could break out, and this will increase the Tornado risk in the whole state. As a morning storms, it begins to move east. So we will watch it pretty closely. The models show that this begins early in the day. You can see that the shower weather could only start on Tuesday evening. The majority of the rain could affect their morning pendulum traffic, and a fairly heavy line of showers and thunderstorms could deal in individual cells. And then things become interesting. And that will probably happen when these storms cross through our area, we are cooler. Thursday we start to heat things
