...ENHANCED RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...

Threats will include
frequent lightning, heavy downpours with local ponding of water on
roadways, hail, potentially damaging straight-line winds, and/or an
isolated tornado or two. The present watch box could get expanded
further south later today/tonight. All of this expected shower/storm
activity will be aided by a large upper trough over the Deep South,
greater than normal jet stream energy this far south/this time of
year, increased moisture, surface heating and a weak cool frontal
boundary just north of the area. Storm motion will be from the
southwest toward the northeast at over 40 mph. Multiple rounds of
convection this afternoon/evening could bring beneficial rainfall on
average of 1 to 2 inches across ECFL with some locally higher
amounts possible by the time this system clears all of ECFL by
tomorrow afternoon.
