Thursday Afternoon Check-In

The atmosphere off to our west from the Great Lakes all of the way down to the Tennessee and Lower Mississippi Valleys is primed for severe weather problems this afternoon and this evening. A large 'moderate' risk of severe weather exists over much of that region. Tornadoes and damaging winds are the main concerns there.

Notice on the satellite imagery below the cumulus clouds popping up over much of that region. There has been lots of sunshine there this afternoon, and we will probably see some very healthy storms developing soon.***Images above will not update...this is the view from early afternoon.**


For our area, the best opportunity for rain and storms will be late tonight through tomorrow. Depending on how things unfold to our west, we could see some locally strong to severe storms tomorrow, and we will watch it closely. Stay tuned!
