The models have been showing the wind shear from the approaching system along with a wee bit of CAPE for instability, but this is the first SPC convective graphic that integrates the two. I'll be watching the radar tomorrow but doubt I'll head out unless a storm gets fairly close. The most we could hope for would be severe winds since the shear is linear (vice directional), but hope springs eternal for something worthy of chasing this time of year!
UPDATE 9:20 pm: It should go without saying that I don't want severe weather to happen in any given area. The damage that the current squall line in the Tennessee and Ohio valleys is producing should give anyone pause before wishing for severe weather. However, if it does occur my desire is to observe, report, and record it, hopefully for the safety and security of all concerned.
