potential for low-lvl meso circulations and perhaps a brief
tornado... but gradually strengthening cin should limit overall
updraft strength/longevity... and the potential for tornadoes.

to 1.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60
knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean storm
