Today weve had strong thunderstorms, weve had one inch hail, 60mile an hour winds and a ton of lightning for the second straight day. That sounds more like july. Right . Weve got a little disturbance off to our north. That is sort of feeding energy into the atmosphere so this is what were seeing today. Its not the norm for late september. Things usually start be winding down by now.

Usually in the winter months if we get a cold front come through.
