Sunny Tuesday, Increasing Severe Weather Risk For New Year’s Eve
December 29, 2020
There is a growing risk of severe weather for New Year’s Eve, according to the local office of the National Weather Service.
Confidence is growing is that severe thunderstorms capable of producing damaging wind gusts and a few brief tornadoes will be possible on Thursday afternoon into early Friday morning as a strong area of low pressure lifts inland across the region.
In addition to the severe potential, concern for a few other potential hazards is increasing as well. The tightening pressure gradient in advance of the system will likely result in increased winds on Thursday into Thursday night, with strong and gusty southeast to south winds developing.
