Most of the region is outlined in a 'slight risk' category for severe thunderstorms today/tonight. Another Mesoscale Convective System (MCS) is forecast to develop to our north and ride south-southeastward, producing heavy rain, lots of lightning, strong winds, and possibly large hail.
Here's a definition from the NWS glossary for MCS...
Mesoscale Convective System. A complex of thunderstorms which becomes organized on a scale larger than the individual thunderstorms, and normally persists for several hours or more. MCSs may be round or linear in shape, and include systems such as tropical cyclones, squall lines, and Mesoscale Convective Complexes (MCCs) (among others). MCS often is used to describe a cluster of thunderstorms that does not satisfy the size, shape, or duration criteria of an Mesoscale Convective Complex.
By the way, congratulations to our Kentucky Wildcats for winning the NCAA championship.
Looks like I'll be investing in furniture stocks this week on Wall Street, thanks to all of the couch burnings during the past few days.
Perhaps, La-Z-Boy, stock ticker LZB on the New York Stock Exchange.
