☈ 👀The Squall Line Cometh (But Supercells?)

A line of storms is guaranteed along a surging cold front. But will the dryline initiate storms too?

Severe storms will form in the early-mid afternoon hours along a crashing cold front and will quickly move east. Most of the severe weather threat should be centered east of I-35 this afternoon and evening with damaging hail and wind gusts and a low tornado threat.

• The timing of when storms form into a line is a subject of great debate amongst the models it seems. Some do this faster than others.

• Of particular note is that the HRRR does initiate supercells but it also does so where they are anafrontal, or trailing the cold front. This is pretty common this time of year wi…
