Quick Post for today!

 

I have to be away today, but I wanted to make a quick post about today’s severe threat.

The surface chart shows low pressure moving north of the Great Lakes, with an attached warm front. On Radar we have thunderstorms approaching western New York State and rain showers over western Pennsylvania.

 .

Very warm air with increased humidity is driving northward behind the front. This summer time heat and humidity will set off scattered thunderstorms this afternoon and evening.  Any storm that pops up will have the potential to produce damaging winds, hail and frequent lightning and torrential rain that could lead to localized flash flooding. The risk for an isolated tornado is very low, but it’s not zero

 

The Storm Prediction Center has a Marginal Risk for Severe Storms
