Saturday/Early Morning

New SPC numbers are in, and they're nearly a copycat of the last update.

My current thinking is thunderstorms (some severe) will develop in South Central Illinois early this afternoon. The air mass across Kentuckiana today will be rather unstable, so storms will strengthen as they move east/southeast toward the region. The best potential for an isolated tornado or two will run from Seymour to Louisville. This is where the strongest mid level shear will be present. The main threat, however, will be damaging winds and large hail. Some of the hail may be as big as golfballs, and we could easily see damaging wind gusts as storms become linear, and begin to bow out. I will continue to keep you updated on here and on TWITTER throughout the afternoon, and evening. Stay tuned!
