Transcript

00:00When it comes to the weather we are talking about some unsafe or at least some

00:05Gussier threats here over the next few days as we continue to monitor that situation

00:10At ahead of this big storm that Jeff has been talking about the wind surging out of the south here

00:16And as they continue to pull north you'll see that way that most of those interstates flow east

00:22to west

00:24Winds coming out of the south towards the north going to be creating that crosswind concern

00:28So it's going to create some difficult travel there

00:30Especially for high-profile vehicles that fire risk though remaining high and on top of that we have to contend with some blowing dust

00:38Concern so it's gonna be nasty at times

00:40Just make sure you keep your guard up if you are doing any traveling across this zone

00:44And it has been so dry here even just over the past 30 days

00:48we are well below to where we would typically be by this time and

00:53Where you see some of that darker brown?

00:56That's where we have been running very abnormally dry on top of that

00:59We have that high fire risk here as we head into Wednesday

01:02When you pair the warmth when you pair the winds you get this fire weather threat

01:07Especially when there hasn't been any moisture

01:09This is going to expand that ongoing droughts and any dried out vegetation is a risk now

01:15Speaking of a risk a little bit further west we also have to talk about that severe weather threat here

01:21This is Tuesday into Tuesday night really going to be late Tuesday into the overnight hours into early Wednesday

01:28Flooding downpours going to be a threat hail and even some wind gusts

01:32But then as we head into Wednesday the storm starts to get their act together here a little bit

01:37We're gonna watch this line kind of congeal together, and we could even see a few isolated tornadoes

01:43We're not going to rule that out across the most southern tip of this line

01:47But we do have that moderate risk on the board that goes for Kansas City down i-29 flash flooding hail again

01:53Not ruling out isolated spin-ups winds howling your accurate local storm acts as high as 80 miles per hour stick with us
