US Hazards

Thunderstorms across the Southeast on Thursday
An area of low pressure in the Deep South and its associated cold front will slowly track eastward today. Ongoing showers and thunderstorms will spread along and ahead of the front and track. Ahead of this cold front, instability will build during the afternoon. With strong shear in place and forcing from the front, the intensity of this activity will increase; a few storms may become strong to severe. Hail and damaging winds will be the primary hazards with these storms.

A strong upper level disturbance will make its way into the Pacific Northwest on Friday.
