It was a noisy start for some of us this morning as showers and a few thunderstorms pushed through the Stateline early this morning. These early morning thunderstorms included a display of cloud-to-ground lightning and, at times, loud thunder.
Additional showers and embedded thunderstorms are moving across the Stateline now, with heavy rain and more lightning/thunder. We expect at least widely scattered showers and thunderstorms to persist throughout the day today as a weak area of low pressure associated with storms from yesterday move through the region.
This area of low pressure is also known as a mesoscale convective vortex (MCV). An M.C.V forms when storms develop and form their own small area of low pressure. Severe weather is not expected today, though, with the M.C.V present, we will want to keep an eye on changing weather conditions just in case. More significant and potentially widespread severe weather is expected Wednesday evening and then again Thursday afternoon.
