Severe Weather Risk Today?


Severe thunderstorms today? Well we certainly are looking at a risk of severe thunderstorms but the moderate risk area is from Terre Haute into southern Illinois. This area is already seeing strong storms this morning. Most of the energy will be 'robbed' by these southern storms. I still think we could see an isolated thunderstorm - dynamics are marginal at best. The time is also going to be a factor for us, the best chance for severe weather will be as the front moves through and we see squall line thunderstorms ahead of it. These kind of storms are common for us this time of year and are usually sheared off at the top of the anvil so we don't get any supercell development.
