Here is an update on the ingredients taking place today that will give us chances for showers and thunderstorms. We are looking at some isolated storms popping up in the late afternoon and stronger storms developing across the region for
the evening hours.

We have a strong south and southwest wind that is allowing the warm air and high moisture content to dominate the area. A trough off to the west has lots of energy rotation around it. It's this energy that will trigger thunderstorms as it approaches the area. The area shaded in red is where we are forecasting to possibility of severe weather. We are forecasting frequent lightning, times of heavy rain, damaging winds over 40 mph, a slight chance for hail, and even some slight rotation that could possibly spark a very isolated tornado.
