Well it looks to be a stormy evening in the great lakes and later into the Ohio Valley........................To begin we have a strong coldfront moving in and out ahead of it the air is somewhat very unstable..............................Temps in Mich have been running in the Mid and in some cases high 90s today with dew points in the Mid 70s.................Very high for that area btw...................Have some turning of the winds above which is anothe reason why SPC already has parts of Mich under a tornado watch................I really dont expect a huge outbreak however things are cooking so to say in Mich south into Ohio/Indiana................Could see a few tornadoes in Central/Southern Mich down into Northern Ohio and Northern Indiana and then the primary threat should be high winds and large hail farther south and east......................BTW have a severe thunderstorm watch as well down south in Eastern TX and central and western Ark.......................Either way expect all this to move south and east tonight into the Ohio Valley and then the Eastcoast come tomorrow.........................Btw you guys in the central plains need to keep a watchfull eye as well because the same front is moving into your area as well....................Been very hot here also with alot of places today going above the century mark...................Not to sure about the caps though in that area............Hopefully someone will comment on that here.................Other then that like i said you guys in the plains may get some of the severe weather as well later this afternoon and evening especially in KS and MO..........................More updates later................
