Quick Summary
Severe storms hit much of the South-Central region on the United states yesterday (Saturday). Now… it is the east’s turn to be under the bull’s eye. We got a cold front racing into this region today (Sunday, April 14th). It will be churning up plenty of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico. We got ‘twisting’ winds with height, and the front will ‘run into’ more than enough developing instability to support plenty of strong-to-severe thunderstorms. Be weather aware and know that safe place to be if severe weather hits.
