WEDNESDAY, July 8 will feature a risk zone for storms across parts of the Plains and Upper Midwest. Things look to get wet overnight, potentially lingering into Thursday morning.
A cold front will impinge upon a humid, moisture-rich airmass, causing scattered thunderstorms to form between 6 and 9 PM, coinciding with peak daytime heating.
Storms may eventually merge into a line. There's not much jet stream wind energy blowing overhead, keeping the severe weather risk marginal. Only scattered gusts of 50-60 mph are likely.
That said, locally heavy rainfall is probable. Storms will sag southward overnight before dissipating into Thursday morning.
