Severe Weather Possible
*** Having some issues logging in to update our weather content at www.wtok.com/weather. I'm working on this and will try to post Tuesday's update as soon as possible. **** Still get the idea that we'll see a few severe thunderstorms along and south of the I-20 corridor today. The Storm Prediction Center has shifted the Slight Risk northward to include all of our viewing area:
SPC Day 1 Outlook Issued at 10:30 AM
* Each day, the NWS in Jackson sends up a balloon to measure temperature, dewpoint, and other variables at different levels of the atmosphere. Here are some highlights of the 12z sounding from Jackson:
CAPE 441
LI -3.0 (Anything negative is unstable)
SRH 153.8 (Measure of shear in the lowest 3km of atmosphere)
* I'll be heading into work early today to monitor the severe weather threat. Already watching some cumulus clouds developing down around Quitman, Waynesboro, and Hattiesburg.

Hey Scott,
It's not just Jackson, they send one up in many cities in the country, including Birmingham, Little Rock, and several others across the Southeast!
