Weather This Week
In short
Severe weather is expected this weekend as Hurricane Isaias is forecast to strengthen into a Category 2 storm before making landfall on Friday.
In plain words
The week starts with warm, sunny weather in many areas. However, tropical remnants and storms are expected to bring rain and wind by the weekend.
A simple example
While Wednesday might be warm and dry in places like Detroit or Missoula, tropical systems could bring heavy rain by Saturday.
Why it matters
The approaching hurricane may disrupt major events, such as the ESPN College GameDay broadcast in Tuscaloosa. It also signals a shift from calm, warm conditions to potentially dangerous tropical weather.
Easy to mix up
Do not confuse the current warm midweek temperatures with the incoming storm conditions expected later in the week.
