Forecast

Since one of the main drivers of this forecast is peak heating, this means the storms will be popping when temperatures are at their warmest...during the afternoon.  Again, the severe storms will be isolated.  The storm chances will not be isolated...you can expect more coverage with general t'storms today and tonight.
