Severe weather potential is being monitored in an area where widely scattered storms may develop. These storms could produce severe hail and wind, with the probability of watch issuance at 40 percent. The development of storms appears increasingly probable through the evening hours.

Large-scale ascent is contributing to thunderstorm development, supported by warm advection and strengthening mid/upper flow. Trends are being monitored to determine if a severe weather watch will be required.

Further details on the severe potential and watch possibility are available from the Storm Prediction Center. The situation is being closely watched, with updates expected as more information becomes available.
