Severe Weather Threat Monday

We are about to enter the spring season and that is when severe weather becomes more of a concern. Our next storm system will bring us thunderstorms Monday afternoon but the question still remains on how strong they will be. Looking over the latest data, we have some of the ingredients in place for severe weather but not everything. We will likely see scattered showers and cloudy skies through the day, which will limit daytime heating and keep the air more stable. As the best energy arrives in the afternoon, there is no doubt we will see storms develop but I doubt we will see that many turn severe. Some hail and gusty winds are the main threats with the stronger cells.

The statement we keep saying with this event is that it is only March, meaning if this same pattern happens in May, the severe threat would be much greater. I would still stay tuned and keep an eye on the radar through the afternoon. We will be tracking any storms very carefully. — First Alert Meteorologist Conley Isom
