Sunday Afternoon Watch

J.B. Elliott is out of operation this afternoon due to Internet connectivity problems... here are some Sunday afternoon thoughts:

I don't expect any big problems with severe weather here later tonight or tonight. No change from the material I wrote Friday. Main dynamics to the north; relatively weak wind fields. Sure, a few showers and storms should form late today and tonight, and a few storms near the Tennessee border will be pretty strong. But, a big severe weather event isn't likely.

I have great concern that when SPC, the media, or anyone else "hypes" a marginal situation like this, people won't listen when there REALLY is a big threat. For most folks around these parts it will be a warm Sunday afternoon with hazy sunshine through scattered cumulus clouds.

Montgomery has soared to 85 degrees at 2:00. Birmingham reports 77. Temperatures will be cooler after today, with the mercury getting back to normal levels through much of the coming week.

I will be in and out this afternoon, but will keep an eye on developments to our north. The big severe weather threat will be over eastern Missouri and southern Illinois....

James, Do you think this is genuine "hype" or do you think some of these folks are "sincerely" wrong?
