Severe weather possible this afternoon and evening...

I am forecasting the potential of severe thunderstorms this afternoon. All of the proper severe weather elements are in place, except for the fact that there will not be much clearing this afternoon. Assuming this is overcome, WNW winds aloft combined with ESE winds at the surface will cause rotating storms this afternoon. This will bring the potential for damaging winds, large hail, and isolated tornadoes.

The SPC maps are not at all congruent with my thinking, so I will not post them at this time. There is a slight risk of severe thunderstorms for us, however. Marc Weinberg shared this morning that he thinks a moderate risk should be placed from Shepherdsville, KY, to Salem, IN, for the threat of tornadoes...stay tuned...
