Severe weather day

Current Surface Map
Today is the first day of Meteorological Summer and to mark the occasion, it looks like we will be dealing with a rather widespread severe weather event.

A warm front is currently working it’s way through the state, allowing moisture and warmer temperatures to stream northward. This feature, combined with a cold front approaching from the west will provide the forcing necessary for shower and thunderstorm development.

At this time, it appears enough instability and lift will be present for some of these storms to become severe and produce damaging winds, large hail, torrential rain and possibly tornadoes.
