Possible Severe Weather Today
The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) in Norman, OK has forecast that the Chicago metro area is at moderate risk for severe thunderstorms today. Of course, that is a qualitative forecast. Yet SPC Outlooks now contain quantitative probabilities that put the meaning of moderate risk into focus.
Hence, there is a 35% or greater probability of large hail (.75" +) occurring within 25 miles of you. There is 10% chance that hail (2" +) will occur within 25 miles of you. Moreover, there is a 25% chance that winds of 58 mph or greater will be observed within 25 miles and a 5% chance that a tornado will be observed within 25 miles of you. Too many numbers, huh?
I have to get out of here. Sorry.
