Severe chances 5/11/16




Alright we've dodged the bullet for quite a while this year. Let's see if we can do it again.  We're looking at two rounds Wednesday. The first round should be here just as dawn breaks. This is looking like a line of storms giving us a wind event. Be prepared for high winds and isolated large hail. Round two should be here mid-afternoon into the evening. This rounds severity again will depend on how fast the first round moves out and how much sunshine we see to destabilize the atmosphere. Worst case scenario I'm seeing is a few tornados to pop up if the conditions line up just right. We'll let you know more tomorrow. In summary have a good way to receive warnings.
*No the TV or tornado sirens aren't a good way to receive warnings.* 
If you don't want to spend the $30 on a weather radio, an app for your phone called Storm Shield is a good alternative, but you're better off with a  NOAA weather radio.
