KEY MESSAGES

- Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected today and again on Friday. Severe weather is not expected, and the main threat will be lightning.

..Showers and Thunder Today

Under the influence of cyclonic flow and with about 1000 J/Kg of MUCAPE to work with, much of the region has seen afternoon showers and embedded thunderstorms develop. These showers and storms will continue throughout the afternoon and early evening hours, coming to an end as we lose daytime heating. Due to the limited instability and under 20 knots of effective shear, severe weather is not anticipated. However, those with outdoor activities should be prepared for a few rumbles of thunder through about sunset.
