The potential for thunderstorms is out there for some locations today and tomorrow so lets see who will be under the gun today. We do have some deep shear going on as the heights/temps fall in the Upper Mississippi Valley. This means moderate instability and some short lived thunderstorms with some hail and famaging winds possible. My thinking is Eastern Carolina, SE Virginia, DC and Baltimore Metro for possible storms later today.
Some parameters for severe weather today.

It sure is hot out here in Arizona.... 103 today. This is where I'm starting to miss the East Coast weather but I'm sure I'll survive. For now. Temperatures will be dropping into the average which is about 97 now. Not sure why people call it fall here when it's so dang hot. Sure feels like the dog days of summer! I also like swimming so late in the season! Anywho, my thoughts for this upcoming winter is it's going to be a long cold, snowy one. The mother of all blizzards cripples the east coast. And that would be my luck since I moved out of Pa.
Nothing Severe Tonight
