We’re waking up to rumbles of thunder.  The primary threat this morning will be large hail and damaging winds.  We’ve already received reports of hail the size of golfballs in the Hamilton area this morning.  There is a minimal risk of tornadoes with these thunderstorms.  However, I still think there is a significant wind threat.  Expect winds in excess of 70mph.  The storms are moving Northeast at 40mph.

It appears our severe weather threat will diminsh during the late morning hours.  It’s possible we could see a few additional storms as the main front moves through during the early afternoon.  Although – I think the best threat for severe weather later in the day will be in Georgia and points East.
