Latest Mesoscale Discussion — We’re Not Out of the Woods Yet
While we have a loud line of rain and storms moving through the northern half of the state, the good news is that no warnings are in effect. However, the latest mesoscale discussion states that the treat for severe storms continue. Here is the latest:
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 717 continues.
SUMMARY — The severe threat continues across Tornado Watch 717. Damaging gusts are the main threat, though a tornado could still occur.
DISCUSSION — A QLCS is progressing into the western bounds of Tornado Watch 717, where strong low-level shear remains in place. Buoyancy is limited, and when considering the storm mode, damaging gusts appear to be the primary threat. Given the strong low-level shear though, a tornado or two still cannot be ruled out, particularly with any line-embedded mesovortices.
