Another Round of Severe Weather Today

Here's the SPC's outlook for us today. The second map shows the wind possibility and areas and places from I-40 northward, have the best chance at seeing the severe weather, but all of the Mid. State has a chance. We could see two rounds of severe weather today. The first will come by the afternoon pop-up storms, and the other round will be what is associated with the actually front pushing through here tonight. The high's today will once again reach the mid to upper 90's with the Heat Index's rising over the 100º mark.
