Storms possible this afternoon

After an unusually warm afternoon (in some areas), thunderstorms are erupting to the west and quickly moving eastward.  With building surface based instability and lingering deep layer shear across the area, areas mainly southeast of U.S. Highway 24 could receive severe weather this afternoon and evening.  Originally, I was not anticipating the warm front to move north of U.S. 6, but it did, and temperatures in Antwerp and surrounding areas have soared into the lower 80's, with dew points in the lower 60's.  With this unexpected surge of warmth and moisture, moderate instability has developed in areas south of U.S. 6.  This could pose a threat for severe weather to some parts of the area, as the Storm Prediction Center has placed parts of the area in a Slight Risk outlook.  They are expecting mainly damaging winds and possibly a few supercell thunderstorms.  Over the next few hours, storms will continue to become more widespread throughout the late afternoon and evening hours, with eventually all convection ending with a line of thunderstorms moving through by about 6:30 p.m.  Overnight, skies will begin to clear with temperatures falling into the mid-50's, as a weak cold front pushes through the area.  Tomorrow, partly cloudy skies will prevail with temperatures rising into the mid to upper 70's and possibly 80's, depending on the degree of cloud cover.  Humidity levels will be much lower tomorrow, so don't expect it to be as humid as today.  By Wednesday, temperatures will approach the upper 80's with high humidity levels returning, along with a slight chance for thunderstorms.
