Slight Risk today, 5-5-10, for Ohio and Great Lakes area
There is a slight risk today for the Ohio Valley and the Great Lakes area today. The tornado risk for the area is at 2%. WIind is the main threat with the storms today.
The SPC said this: SLIGHTLY CURVED HODOGRAPHS /WITH 30 KT SWLY LOW LVL FLOW VEERING TO 50+ KT WLY FLOW AT 500 MB/...COUPLED WITH EXPECTED INSTABILITY AND LIKELIHOOD FOR SIZABLE TEMP-DEWPOINT SPREADS IN THE PBL...SUGGESTS THE POTENTIAL FOR SCTD SUSTAINED STORMS WITH SVR WIND/HAIL. THE STORMS COULD ORGANIZE INTO BKN LINE SEGMENTS WITH
SMALL BOWS THAT CONTINUE EWD INTO WRN NY/NW PA THROUGH THE EVE. BUT THE SVR THREAT SHOULD DIMINISH AS THE RELATIVELY DRY PREFRONTAL AIR QUICKLY COOLS.
