DISCUSSION
STILL EXPECTING WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BETWEEN ABOUT
4-9 PM. THE RISK FOR TORNADOES OR HAIL EXCEEDING 1" DIAMETER
APPEARS TO BE ON THE MORE MARGINAL/ISOLATED SIDE. THE PRIMARY RISK
APPEARS TO BE DAMAGING WIND GUSTS ASSOCIATED WITH BANDS/LINES OF
STORMS. SEVERE WIND GUSTS OF 58+ MPH MAY ALSO TEND TO BE SOMEWHAT
MORE LOCALIZED/WIDELY SCATTERED GIVEN QUESTIONS ON HEATING AND
LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES, DESPITE THE ANTICIPATION OF WIDESPREAD
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THIS
EVENING. SPC HAS MAINTAINED A SLIGHT RISK (LEVEL 2 OUT OF 5) TO
FOR THE AREA. THE RAIN THIS EVENING/TONIGHT SHOULD QUELL THE FIRE
WEATHER THREAT FOR THE UPCOMING WEEK.
