4/28 - 3:15pm - Showers and Thunderstorms Almost Here

Taking a look at the radar shows a large line of showers and thunderstorms approaching the area. No severe weather watches or warnings have been issued yet, but it's possible within the next couple of hours. The SPC has put us in a 5% risk for severe weather (which is really not much at all), with the main threats being hail and wind.

I really don't think we'll get anything more than some rain, a brief gust of wind, and maybe a clap of thunder or two. We're too cold and too stable for anything really to happen severe weather wise. I think a much greater chance for severe weather exists on Friday night when a line of storms is expected to make its way through. The SPC says its too early to tell, but they are looking into it.

We're still on track for much of what we saw today in tomorrow's forecast, with some needed warming in here by Wednesday. I'm less confident that Oaks will be dry than I was yesterday. With a line like this expected to go through, its difficult to tell when it will actually get its act together. I still think the rain should be mostly out of here by Derby time on Saturday.
