An Eye on Thursday...

* We continue to evaluate data regarding the threat of severe weather here on Thursday...Here are some quick bullet points:

• Deep upper trough
• Potent surface low to our northwest
• Ample surface-based instability (CAPE over 500) and moisture (dewpoints in the 60's)
  
• A limiting factor could be the extent of clouds and precipitation early Thursday...Those clouds and rain could stabilize the atmosphere

* SPC has outlooked a large 30% hatched area on their latest Day 3 outlook...That is a worrisome percentage, a 30% hatched day 3 outlook is rare...
