Discussion

A meandering frontal system will keep it somewhat unsettled around here for the next couple of days generating a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms today, tonight and tomorrow. Later in the weekend, a deep trough of low pressure will pull out of the Central Plains and head towards the Great Lakes region. An associated cold frontal system will approach the Tennessee Valley on Sunday and this raises the prospects for late day showers and thunderstorms and some of these storms can be on the strong-to-severe side. The combination of low level shear and increasing buoyancy suggest the potential late Sunday for damaging winds and hail as this strong cold front approaches the region.
