Storm Discussion #1 5/15/09

Radar at 7:24 this evening. A severe thuderstorm watch has been posted from roughly Springfield north this evening. Storms to the north are outflow dominated. Notice the thin line out ahead of the main cells. This suggests a bit of weakening and at radar time none of these storms are warned upon.
A cold front will start giving all of this a push later this evening and overnight. Storms might once again increase their severe potential when this happens. Tornadoes are not thought to be a large threat at this time but as always, bowing segments and intersections with old bounderies will have to be watched.
