Severe Weather Alert for today (7/8/22)

[nWo]

 

 

Hot and humid conditions will contribute to a moderately unstable air mass.  Scattered storms can be expected throughout the day. Some could be severe.
The main threats with the storms will be damaging gusts of wind, lightning, and locally heavy rainfall. This will also be a non-zero tornado event. This means that the tornado threat is very low but a quick spin up could be possible.

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 

   Valid 081729Z - 081930Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

   SUMMARY...There appears at least some potential for an intensifying
   cluster of thunderstorms to become better organized with increasing
   risk for damaging wind gusts, while spreading southeastward across
   the region through 4-6 PM EDT.  It is still uncertain that a severe
   weather watch is needed, but trends are being monitored for this
   possibility.
