Afternoon Weather Update 6/10/14

Here is a quick look at today's convective outlook and the current radar image. It looks like summer afternoon storms are getting started in the Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alabama regions. A very moist inflow air mass is in place and afternoon CAPE values are expected to be around 1500-3000 J/Kg, which should help lead to the development of some strong storms this afternoon.


Currently, a large MCS is moving through these regions and is expected to keep moving east/northeast. The MCS is expected to evolve into a large-scale bowing configuration as the day progresses. These storms will make their way into northern Georgia and possibly even the Carolinas by this afternoon or evening.

The main threat that is expected with this line of storms is damaging winds, but don't rule out the possibility to see a tornado or two develop as well.
