Severe Watches Expire After Scattered Threats U.S.-Wide — June 19 — SevereWX

The Storm Prediction Center maintains a Marginal risk for severe thunderstorms on this Friday, June 19, with isolated storms capable of producing damaging winds or large hail in various spots from the Southeast through the Upper Midwest and into the West. Multiple mesoscale discussions outline low-end severe chances throughout the day, but watch probabilities remain minimal in most cases, and no tornado watches or warnings exist at present. Activity stays disorganized without widespread organization.
