Watching The Line!

Ok, I have gone through the latest data once again and I think I'm ready to let you all in on what we have in store for us weather - wise this weekend! As you already know we have a good size line of storms that has developed along side a strong cold front to our west. This line is what will move into our area by later on tonight closer to 2:am and 3:am give or take a little. You can see the line in this radar image just taken a little bit ago below.
Now currently we are not in the severe weather risk area however it is still very close. Also right now we are rather stable. With Lifted index at +2.5. This is good however models show that this LI number could drop between -1 and -5 by tomorrow AKA Saturday. This would be unstable enough to spark a few strong storms. However with this way things look right now I'm going to keep us in the Scattered to Moderate thunderstorm range. This meaning Scattered thunderstorms however a few stray strong storms cannot be ruled out! Now rainfall will also be something to take note of. As between Saturday and Sunday we could end up with between 1" and 2" inches grand total in many areas.

For now will will continue to watch this developing line and if anything is to change I will be sure to pop in and let you know!

Stay tuned and stay safe! ;)
