LATE WEEK STORM SYSTEM
To understand the risk, it is important to review the core ingredients required for severe thunderstorms:
• Low-level moisture (rich humidity returning from the Gulf of Mexico)
• Sufficient surface heating to destabilize the atmosphere
• Wind shear aloft (which is almost always present this time of year)
• A surface trigger, such as a cold front or wind shift line
The first ingredient — low-level moisture — is already forecast to return. - Upgrade account to read the rest.
