Thursday/Early Morning

WEATHER CODE: YELLOW ***More showers and thunderstorms this afternoon and evening***


More showers and thunderstorms are expected this afternoon and will continue through early evening. The cold front is still meandering to our west and still has yet to cross through the region, so this will be the energy to set off these storms. Along with support from the cold front, we will again have an unstable air mass. With all of this in mind, we still could see some isolated severe weather later today. Marginally severe hail and an isolated damaging wind gust will be possible with any of the stronger storms that develop.

And in fact the SPC has placed parts of our eastern forecast area in a SLIGHT RISK for severe weather for today. (CLICK ON ANY IMAGE FOR A LARGER VIEW)



The severe weather threat for later this week has shifted to our north, for now. The SPC still has Central Indiana, Northern Indiana, Northwestern Ohio, and Northern Illinois in the 30% risk area. (Map Below)


This risk area will probably be moved around a bit the next few days. Computer models are having trouble depicting the exact tracks of the MCS's, (Multi Convective System) so we will still have to keep our guard up as we go into the weekend.
Have a God blessed afternoon! More later...
