Severe Weather Update

Severe thunderstorm watch 664 has been issued:

Right now, we have a cluster of thunderstorms bearing down on the entire watch area.  It is severe to intense, and has potential to become a bow echo as it evolves.  It is currently tornado warned, but I do expect the main threat with this system to be wind damage.  After yesterday, when I said that storms would sustain themselves only to watch them die before my eyes, I am at least a little bit hesitant to say that these are going to sustain themselves, but I guess I have to.  So there you have it, I expect these storms to strengthen into a bow echo and trek through the region with the potential for widespread wind damage.  Here is a look at the storms using GR2Analyst:

We do see a potential hook inside the red polygon, but the overall shape of the visible area is a bow, and one with the potential to strengthen.  Stay tuned!
