Sun, May 17th Severe T’Storm Threat Update #3

(9:00AM - 5/17/20) A storm system moving through the region will bring the chance for severe t'storms to portions of the state today.

Synopsis...
While a main storm system will be moving through the region, several smaller disturbances will also be passing through the area, leading to a complex and messy overall setup. Clusters of early day showers and t'storms are ongoing across portions of the state this morning. Some of this activity is likely to continue into the afternoon for some areas, while other areas potentially clear out and destabilize a bit. This will set the stage for some regeneration of ongoing activity and development of new showers and t'storms for some areas, including along and ahead of a cold front that will be sweeping eastward across the state during the afternoon. Both new activity and previously ongoing activity will continue to push northeast and east across the state, through the day and into the evening, slowly ending from west to east across the state. As previously mentioned, there may be pockets of clearing and destabilization to occur. An overall environment expected to be in place will feature low instability, good moisture, good forcing and good shear. This will help support upwards minimal to limited severe t'storm threat across a good portion of the state. Damaging winds and isolated tornadoes will be the main threats.

​Below is the severe t'storm forecast for this event.
