another MCS on the way

A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued this afternoon for regions southeast of LEX. Another cluster of storms will take advantage of high shear and moderate convective available potential energy (CAPE) ahead of it as it moves across the southern half of the region. steep lapse rates temperature difference with height associated with this cluster suggest storms could produce hail and high winds in addition to the high amounts of shear suggesting an isolated tornado threat. Tuesday may feature more storms with clearing and hot conditions for the remainder of the workweek with highs near 90 and lows in the upper 60’s to low 70’s.
