not sure how fast the showers/storms will redevelop this afternoon as there will be a period of subsidence likely. nice looking short wave rounding the bottom of the trough over the lower ms valley as we speak heading toward the ohio valley this evening so the gun is loaded.

worried that dew points will drop too much (into the 40s) across northwest ohio to readily initiate new showers/storms. the best slot might be across north central or northeast ohio where dewpoints may remain in the 50s. also some concern about the timing...if it takes too long to redevelop it may be toward dark or after dark which may lessen the chance for severe.

Worried? Some concern? I think the weather person was hoping for severe weather. Lower dew points and later timing for development across northwest would mean a lower chance for severe thunderstorms. That's a positive, I think.
