.DISCUSSION...

..A thunderstorm is currently located about 11 miles southwest of
your location. This is storm is producing lightning. New storm
development can be seen on satellite directly west of your
location, which could bring lightning to the burn site as early as
1300..

Rain and thunderstorms are expected today, some of which
could be severe. Extra moisture is present in the atmosphere
today, which has increased our humidity and our instability. This
will lead to an increased risk for hail and torrential rainfall
with thunderstorms this afternoon. Hail up to 1.25 inches will be
possible with thunderstorms near the burn site anytime from NOW
through tonight. Please continue to monitor weather conditions
this afternoon and this evening at the burn site as conditions
could change rapidly, and please do not hesitate to call our
office for updates!
