The severe weather today will be focused over the Mid West and Ohio Valley today where a stationary front combined with a series of mid level disturbance will support the development of strong to severe thunderstorms. A strong MCS over the Mid-West will further enhance the low level dynamics via additional lifting from out flow [...]

The line of thunderstorms has begun to become enhanced by an 850 MB low level jet and old meso-boundaries just to the south of the storms. Meanwhile, upper level winds and the jet maximum is running paralle to the showers and thunderstorms, which is supporting [...]
