HEADLINES: A disturbance will push into the region this afternoon. This disturbance will trigger a few showers and thunderstorms. If thunderstorms develop then a few may produce large hail and damaging winds. Monitor for watches and warnings. Confidence is low, at this time, for severe weather. I am a little unsure on how much instability will form.

Remember that as a general policy, in the long range outlook, I try not to mention severe thunderstorms more than 72 hours in advance (unless the signal is so overwhelmingly convincing that it warrants a mention). I will mention thunderstorm risks and I will give as many details as possible. Also remember you can view the long range severe weather outlooks by visiting the Storm Prediction Center's web-site - click here

Now is a GREAT
time to buy a NOAA All Hazards
Weather Radio. Better to have one
before storms
strike than to be without one
during an event. I recommend the
Midland Model 300 NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio - that is what I use here at my house!
