Severe versus air mass thunderstorms

By
So far in our look at severe thunderstorms we’ve looked at the three main severe weather threats: heavy rain, hail, and wind or tornadoes.

By
While the weather across our region was relatively quiet last week, the weather pattern as a whole was not behaving quite like I predicted it would. Last week I pointed out that we were now into a summer pattern with weaker weather systems and more thunderstorms. We definitely saw more thunderstorms last week, along with
