Environment / Beginning of Shift

As the week goes along, it's harder to find severe weather across the country.

Jennifer and I have been assigned the MFL CWA this afternoon. At first glance at the LAP products and radar, there will be continuing thunderstorms this afternoon, but most likely all but a few storms will just be ordinary fanfare today.

Despite the very thick cloud cover (tan color upper right), the satellite seems to be doing a fairly decent job with the products today, including CAPE, LI, and Layer PW. GFS is filling in the vast majority of our CWA though.
