7/20 - 1pm - SLIGHT Risks

We're on the edge of a SLIGHT risk for severe storms from the SPC today and in the middle of one tomorrow. The radar shows some storm activity in Southern Indiana that's making its way toward us, so we should see some rain by mid-afternoon at the latest. Other storms could pop up as well, but so far nothing looks severe.

Tomorrow still looks pretty active with that SLIGHT risk. We had a joke going when I was storm chasing that a SLIGHT risk day was always worse than a HIGH risk day... which turned out to be true on two occasions on that trip. Anyway, we should see an MCS line of thunderstorms roll through here tomorrow afternoon or evening with gusty winds and heavy rain. There's a possibility that we could see some smaller, more broken storms as well, but I'm not real keen on it. I think we're going to see what we've been seeing all summer: a couple weak cells in front of a semi-strong MCS (Mesoscale Convective System - a line of storms).
