We've had a run of remarkable storm-free weather across the United States so far this year. The Storm Prediction Center has issued a grand total of FOUR Tornado Watches and ZERO Severe Thunderstorm Watches. This is a mere 10% of normal by this time in the year.

The storm threat Wednesday night includes large hail and damaging winds:

Another shot of cold air comes in on Friday. We could be in the 30's for a low by Saturday morning before we start warming up again:
