Sunday late afternoon 5/18
So scratch the last statement made in the last post. SPC has put us in a SLIGHT RISK for severe storms for late Monday. Here's what they say.... TSTMS DEVELOPING OVER SERN MO/SRN IL LATE MONDAY AFTERNOON/ EARLY EVENING WILL BE LOCATED WITHIN AN AREA OF MODERATE INSTABILITY
WITH EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR UP TO 50 KT SUPPORTING ORGANIZED STORMS/SUPERCELLS. STEEP LAPSE RATES WILL FAVOR THE POTENTIAL FOR HAIL... WHILE STRONG VEERING WINDS WITH HEIGHT SUGGEST THE POTENTIAL FOR
ISOLATED TORNADOES. ALTHOUGH INSTABILITY WEAKENS BY LATER MONDAY EVENING...STRENGTHENING WLY LLJ TO 50+ KT ACROSS TN/KY WOULD SUGGEST A CONTINUED DAMAGING WIND THREAT THROUGH PART OF THE EVENING.
Firefighters on Sunday continued to battle about 36,000 acres of burning land through Florida, most of it in the Everglades. Dense smoke over much of Miami has cleared a bit this afternoon but should thicken again tonight as winds lighten. Add to that, temps in the lower to mid 90s in Miami, it has not been a comfortable day.....click here
... need I say more? lol... (in response to my old comment)

Nah.. I know this isn't the "big one" ... but since I did say in a earlier post about this not being all.. I just thought it was kinda weird. .... and it was.

It looks like we are back out of the severe threat again according to the NWS SPC at 330 am Monday Morning. Is that accurate?
