Severe Weather?
Currently, our temperature in Meridian is 84 with a dewpoint temperature of 72, so the air is ALREADY very warm and moist. We already have a cluster of rain and thunderstorms back in parts of Arkansas and Oklahoma that have several severe thunderstorm warnings with them, but a little bit closer to home.....we are actually already seeing a few showers and possibly a thunderstorm building across our area. Most of this activity should remain very isolated until later this afternoon when we begin to see an upper level disturbance move across the northeastern part of the state, and then things should start to calm down after midnight when this disturbance pushes off to the southeast. As for the threat of severe weather....the SPC has placed an area from roughly along and north of a line from Meridian to maybe Greenville in a slight risk of severe weather, but I'm thinking that any severe weather as far south as Meridian will probably be very isolated with greater coverage along the north and northeastern parts of the state. The main threats look to still be hail, strong winds, and also very dangerous lightning, so if you do get any kind of thunderstorm, you need to move indoors.....if you can hear the thunder, then you are close enough to be struck by lightning. Keep in mind, also, that if we get any peeks of sunshine in here, then that will only help to destabilize the atmosphere, but it looks like we have a pretty good cloud deck in place right now. However, visible and infrared images are showing a few breaks in the clouds across the state.
