So, I'm not necessarily saying you should do this if you don't have a garage or car port... but... I do find the idea creative. Pool noodles vs Hail stones. https://t.co/sVFrSpU8FU
Ok... so here's the thing. IF a storm develops tomorrow in the atmosphere which we have, it's going to produce some rather large hail. How big? I won't rule out someone getting baseball sized hail IF a storm gets going. That is the big IF we've been talking about with the CAP https://t.co/pS3oEiIqym
So a heads up for Friday, as we've upped the severe threat to enhanced for places closer to I-70. We still have a threat for severe storms ALSO tomorrow, but we think those will be a little less widespread. The ones on Friday could impact more areas and be more than just a couple https://t.co/KjlgH5Wwcw
