Storms roll through the area Monday night, low-end severe threat

We're going to see warm temperatures for today as highs reach the lower 80s under partly sunny skies. Low-level moisture is increasing in response to an energetic southwesterly flow aloft. Southeasterly winds will also increase with the front approaching. Winds will be in the 8-16 mph range this afternoon, but increase into the 10-20 mph range tomorrow afternoon with higher gusts.

The main trough, and its energy, will be moving through Monday night and through Tuesday morning. Storm chances will be increasing shortly before midnight Monday night and continue through Tuesday morning. There is a low-end threat of severe weather as we'll be watching for storms which could gain rotation and produce stronger wind gusts.

The coolest air will lag the front a bit, meaning warm temperatures will still continue through Tuesday. By Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, however, cooler temperatures will move into the area. Highs will be in the upper 60s to lower 70s through this time period, while morning starts will be in the mid-40s.

As the third named storm to emerge during November, Tropical Storm Sara serves as a reminder that the Atlantic hurricane season hasn't quite ended. Sara formed in the western Caribbean Sea before making landfall Thursday on the northern coast of Honduras, dumping torrential rains in a slow weekend crawl across parts of Central America. The National Hurricane Center in Miami said the storm could dump up to 40 inches (101.6 centimeters) of rain in some areas and is expected to move over Belize Sunday before dissipating over the Yucatan Peninsula early Monday.

A powerful typhoon wrecked houses, caused towering tidal surges and forced hundreds of thousands of people to flee to emergency shelters as it cut across the northern Philippines on Sunday in the sixth major storm to hit the country in less than a month. Typhoon Man-yi slammed into the eastern island province of Catanduanes on Saturday night with sustained winds of up to 195 kilometers (125 miles) per hour and gusts of up to 240 kph (149 mph). There were no immediate reports of casualties from the typhoon, which was forecast to blow northwestward on Sunday across northern Luzon, the archipelago's most populous region.
