M.C.S.- Meso Scale Convective System

Not much time to write this evening- but as I mentioned in this morning's (last night's) post we will have some strong to severe storms move through overnight. The timing for this system is between midnight and 6am. An MCS is more like a vort max we would follow in the winter to produce snow squalls. This one feeds off of more humid air and results in locally heavy rain, lightning/thunder, strong winds- etc....
Please go to my main web site (link above) if you are not there now- and find the Storm Page link. there you can the local radar and lightning tracker, in addition to watches and warnings that may be posted....
