Saturday morning...

Some pretty big storms rolled into the region last night, and a number of warnings were required. Several reports of 1" hail came in, and a few wind damage reports were received as well.

Below is a radar image from this morning....

The complex of showers and storms over Illinois and Indiana this morning will move southeast and into the Carolinas late today and this evening. This is going to be one of those convective complexes that will likely impact a lot of places.

Severe weather is a likelihood for parts of the region as the convective complex rolls through. The main threats will be damaging winds and large hail, but I can't rule out a brief tornado or two. Of course, some locally heavy rain and vivid lightning is also possible.

Above is the Day 2 (Saturday) convective outlook from the SPC.

I am out of the weather office until Tuesday morning, but a quick post on the shower and storm potential tomorrow.

Below is a panel from the 6z GFS and 0z European....both in pretty good agreement showing the good chance of showers and storms tomorrow afternoon and evening. There will be enough instability and dynamics around for the chance of strong and severe storms. Hail and winds will be the main threats, but an isolated tornado or two is also possible.

Fantastic weather today with sun and highs in the 70s. However, a 'back door' cold front will present some forecast challenges, especially for Saturday's forecast. See the video for more....
