Afternoon Round
This is where things get interesting. The intensity of the storms in the early afternoon hours will hinge largely on how unstable we become. Our morning round will attempt to stabilize things and put a lid on the atmosphere. Our confidence has increased that we are going to recover enough to support strong to severe storms later today.
