Slight Risk for Severe Thunderstorms Today



A slight risk of severe thunderstorms continues for today by the Storm Prediction Center. A cold front will put on the brakes as it approaches the region while we will be in the warm sector of the front. Waves of low pressure will move along the boundary causing areas of thunderstorms to develop today and move along and south of the boundary.

With sunshine expected after morning clouds and showers, the atmosphere should see instability rapidly increase. Steep lapse rates and sufficient shear will pose a risk for damaging wind gusts and large hail. There is a 2% chance of an isolated tornado due to the shear.
