The worst part of this squall line of storms is moving through the area. The back side shouldn't be so bad with mostly rain and a few gusty winds at times. Take a look at this radar image above! I froze this at 9:10pm EDT! You can see that thin narrow blue line out in front of this squall line of storms, That is what we call a "Gust Front" Strong strong winds blowing through the area. Strong enough to be picked up on radar out ahead of the storm! Amazing! These are winds blowing upwards of 60mph out in front of these storms.

Main threats will be heavy rainfall, High gusty winds for anyone still in front of the squall line, (The rest of us the wind should be dying down), and Frequent lightning. Stay safe bloggers! I'm off to work!

God Bless!
