While the strongest, most wide-spread weather is expected along and east of the I-95 corridor as of this posting (at 9:30pm Wednesday), the fact remains the severe threat has shifted closer to our area in the last 24 hours. Does it shift closer, stay the same or move more to the east? Those facts and the timing will be revealed Thursday as the frontal boundary approaches.
The big questions are how warm and unstable it becomes in Vance County on Thursday, how far down the strongest winds aloft can reach towards the surface and if the greatest instability and “supercell” thunderstorms stay more to the east.
