coo help -- and could help fuel dunderstorms later to. this is the line of thunderstorms i'm tracking that could bring severe weather between 3:00 and 7:00 p.m. impact is some really heavy rainfall. so if you are out driving this afternoon for that evening commute, thereis a potential for some reducedvisibility out there. i also can't rule out some strong gusty damaging winds and there is a smallsk but it is there for an isolated weak tornado and some hail as well. something we'll monitor. i have to ay, this is a really tricky forecast. the models are having difficulty initializing with at is ppening out there right now. and they're only bringing us scattered showernd thunderstorms this afternoon. not widespread. meaning we might really not see the severe potential ally play out. so here is a latest with future weather. this is new. and we're still mainly dry across the area. 2:00 p.m. maybe an isolated thunderstorm and 4:00 p.m. ae severunderstorm elsewhere and keeping it completely dry mainly cloudy skies
