Issued July 3, 2026

Strong storms continue across the area, producing heavy rainfall, gusty winds, frequent lightning and even hail. I just did a 3D scan of the cel near Mayland and it shows some hail suspended aloft in its downdraft (circled below). This storm is nearly stationary and could produce hail at any moment. That hail may reach severe criteria of one inch. I’ll keep an eye on it.

Another stronger storm was located over Fairfield Glad but it has both weakened and tried to redevelop farther north inot Morgan County.

When thunder roars, go indoors.

Storms are developing across parts of the area and that should continue through the afternoon. The Storm Prediction Center just highlighted our area, seen below, in a discussion. They do not anticipate issuing any watches but they re-emphasized the possibility for isolated severe storms this afternoon capable of producing damaging wind gusts, hail, and frequent lightning. Localized flash flooding is also a risk. That storm chance is 50%.

If you have outdoor plans this afternoon and evening, especially at area lakes, keep an eye on that radar and have nearby shelter just in case one of these storms nears your location. Remember, when thunder roars…go indoors.

MM’s Weather Worries

MM’s Wx Analysis

Yesterday’s storms stayed to our west, but we’ll be watching to see where they from today! High pressure continue stowly break down across the area, which gives us these chances for storms. Like yesterday, any storm that forms will move east to west, which is backwards from what we’re used to. That’s due to the flow around the high that is control. This pattern of storms moving east to west often happens several times through the summer months in the South. A more active pattern is expected to evolve next week, which should bring us better rainfall chances.
