An unstable airmass will overspread the area today. This airmass will combine with strong winds aloft to set the stage for severe thunderstorms later today and tonight as a cold front moves in from the west.
A few thunderstorms may develop out ahead of the cold front during the early and mid afternoon hours. If storms do develop this afternoon, they may take the form of supercells, capable of producing very large hail, damaging winds and tornadoes.
