3:45pm: Above image is showing the current Satellite with the 500mb contour and the 500mb winds. Pop up storms are pretty much following the direction of the winds here including the ones in Ohio heading SouthEast. Yellow boxes are Severe T-Storm Warnings which just popped up.
Upper Level Trough will continue to push through. Thursday should be a nice day then another front moves through Friday night.
Even though they might look small on radar, dont take these storms lightly! They can move slow and drop a ton of rain. See "a couple" of reports from Long Island earlier (below)
I'm actually wanting a break from these pop ups ALL Summer!
