John's Weathermania Blog: We may have severe storms this Saturday

Good afternoon Weathermaniacs! It seems more certain we will get strong, possible severe storms tomorrow. Here is what I am picking up from NWS, Jym, and CH10. We will have rain tomorrow morning, and they are saying the strong storms will arrive late afternoon/early evening.

For that to happen, look for the following scenario: After the morning rain stops, the clouds clear heating up the atmosphere to make the environment unstable when the LOW approaches. DEW POINTS, DEW POINTS, DEW POINTS! Check our dew points. We need dew points 60 or above for severe storms. The more above 60, the more severe.

I will be following tomorrow's events from the Weathermania Command Center. Please feel free to call or text me at 614-545-8032, I will also be on Twitter (JohnForesman). Look forward to hearing from you!
