INTENSE STORMS EXPECTED TODAY

Not a lot of changes overnight about today's severe weather potential, with only a few failure modes possible. The main failure mode would be extensive cloud coverage and cooler temperatures around 1-4 pm. However, mass transport of moist air from the south will likely counter most cloud coverage. A level 4 risk stretches across the I-72 coridor and to the north. Two rounds of severe weather look likely. The first round will be between 10 am and 2 pm with very large hail & damaging winds.
