Getting Ready For Some Scattered Thunderstorms Today.

Just popping in real quick because I will be popping in off and on through out the day as needed.

I just want to give you all a quick idea as to what we can expect weather - wise for today! We are going to be seeing these off and on scattered line of showers and thunderstorms through out much of the day! Right now it is looking like we will be capped through out this morning however as we head into the afternoon hours the cap is going to become weak and allow more storms to pop up. We are in a slight risk for severe weather however I still look for the worst to stay south. still we will not rule out a stray strong storm just yet as that is still possible. Good news is right now the models are showing our helicity only around 150 to 200 which is not to bad. Let me point out that helicity is used to find where the rotation would be needed to form severe thunderstorms as well as super cells. Usually you need our helicity to be around 400 to 500 to form severe super cells.

We can look for rainfall in these storms between a quarter inch and a half inch possible as this cold front pushes through the area. Winds will be between 15 and 20 mph. Not to bad.....

I will be checking in through out the day as needed with in storm updates!!
