43rd (forty-third for you purists) verse, same as the first! Let's hope many of us don't end up living in a van down by the river after today's expected severe weather. Of course, for most people, the river is now up by the van thanks to all the flooding. And, as has usually been the case, all modes of severe weather are possible, but not necessarily likely.
According to SPC, the tornado threat is fairly low (but not zero), but the hail and wind threat are a bit more substantial.

I would expect further adjustments to be made during the day today, so be sure a and stay weather aware. Probably more likely the threat will increase rather than decrease, if anything. Here are a few more detailed graphics from your friendly neighborhood Spiderma...I mean NWS forecast office.

More storms tomorrow farther south. Then more for this weekend? But maybe not as severe? Then maybe a summertime pattern? Does phrasing these as questions absolve me of any culpability if it doesn't happen?
