11:30AM UPDATE: Final Hours of Silence; Storms to fire up this afternoon

April 15, 2012
By

The Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma has posted an updated Severe Weather outlook map for today. There are few changes; however some change in general forecast. Clouds are beginning to thin out, and this in combination with incoming moisture will continue to boost the destabilization of the air later this afternoon. Forcing of the Upper Level trough along with convergence around the surface low is expected to result in convective initialization later in the afternoon. Strong Winds and Deep Low-Level shear will promote the makings of super cells of the area this afternoon. Storms are expected to leave our general viewing area by 10PM-12AM.
