Cold Core Low Severe Weather

A low pressure system and cold front is currently over areas just to the west of the state. Some thunderstorms moving through the state this morning, with thunder included will keep the temperatures down and the sun away. A lot of questions in the forecast for the state on how this system will evolve and how much of a severe risk we will see. Latest discussions have a threat of severe weather during the afternoon/evening hours, beginning with a possible isolated storms capable of a tornado or two will then evolve into a broken line of severe thunderstorms along the cold front by later this afternoon. When that occurs I would expect the severe risk to come down to mainly a wind and a few large hail events...

More updates possible later this afternoon...
