Quiet Day Ahead for Much of the US; Severe Storms Still Possible in Slight Risk Area

Since much of yesterday's active weather has quieted down and there doesn't seems to be much going on in terms of active weather today, in exception to the slight risk area and the New England states, we're going to keep this post short and sweet.

The focus area for today is the projected slight risk that runs from the North Central Gulf Coast up through the Coastal Carolinas. In the slight risk area, expect a few strong to severe storms capable of producing damaging winds. There is a small chance that the South Carolina Coast could see an isolated tornado with some of these storms, but the chance is quite small.

The New England States could see some strong storms today as well. A few cloud breaks during the day will allow for some daytime heating helping to possibly bump up CAPE values in this area to 750-1500 J/KG, pair this with somewhat favorable vertical shear and organized severe storm development is possible, but marginal. Again there is a slight chance to see a few isolated tornadoes out of these storms, but the chance is quite slim, 2% according to the SPC outlook for today.

It seems that besides for a few isolated severe storms, most of the US will be quiet today, especially in comparison to yesterday's severe weather events. But as always if you live in the above mentioned areas, keep your eye to the sky as it is possible to see some active weather in your area.
