LOW-END RISK OF ISOLATED STRONG STORMS… RZW Exec partners, good afternoon! The Storm Prediction Center has introduced a small zone of their low-end, marginal risk (Level 1 out of 5) valid for this afternoon and this evening. Thunderstorms are bubbling up right now just to our north across Marengo and Choctaw counties. These storms will move southeast and gain strength over the next few hours. The tornado risk today remains at/near zero. The concern (and the reason why SPC has introduced this risk so late) is that a few of these storms may ramp up to produce brief instances of gusty/damaging winds in isolated areas. The same type risk was in place yesterday (Sunday) and we saw no damage. Again, this low-end, very marginal risk. Storms will produce quite a bit of heavy rain and lightning where they do happen.
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Below is a still image of the regional radar view as of Noon…
