A cold front will spark a line of strong and severe storms that will come calling this evening into tonight. We will set you up with the tracking toys for that and have the latest on Hurricane Irene.<\/p>\n<p>A stout cold front will cross the region late tonight into Thursday. A scattering of showers and storms will be possible ahead of the front today. Temps outside of the boomers should really take off. Highs will reach the mid and upper 80s in the east to mid 90s in the far west. Winds should gust up as well.<br \/><\/font><br \/><font face=\"Arial\">As the front moves closer this evening&#8230; I expect a line of potent thunderstorms to fire up to our northwest and come racing in here. The prime time for severe weather looks to be mid evening into the wee hours of Thursday. This setup has a damaging wind look to it, so please stay up to date on this threat.<\/p>\n<p>Here is what you need to follow along with the strong and severe storm threat&#8230;<\/font><\/p>\n<p><b><font face=\"Tahoma\"><font face=\"Arial\">Today&#8217;s Severe Weather Threat<\/font><br \/><\/font><\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/products\/outlook\/day1otlk.html\"><b><font face=\"Tahoma\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Latest Day 1 convective outlook\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/products\/outlook\/day1otlk-overview.gif\" height=\"408\" width=\"582\"><\/font><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b><font face=\"Arial\">Current Watches<\/font><br \/><\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/products\/watch\/\"><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Current Watches\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/products\/watch\/validww.png\" height=\"408\" width=\"582\"><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Arial\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/radblast-mi.wunderground.com\/cgi-bin\/radar\/WUNIDS_map?station=JKL&amp;brand=wui&amp;num=6&amp;delay=15&amp;type=N0R&amp;frame=0&amp;scale=1.000&amp;noclutter=0&amp;t=1272129776&amp;lat=0&amp;lon=0&amp;label=you&amp;showstorms=0&amp;map.x=400&amp;map.y=240&amp;centerx=400&amp;centery=240&amp;transx=0&amp;transy=0&amp;showlabels=1&amp;severe=0&amp;rainsnow=0&amp;lightning=0&amp;smooth=0\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/radblast-mi.wunderground.com\/cgi-bin\/radar\/WUNIDS_map?station=LVX&amp;brand=wui&amp;num=6&amp;delay=15&amp;type=N0R&amp;frame=0&amp;scale=1.000&amp;noclutter=0&amp;t=1272129536&amp;lat=0&amp;lon=0&amp;label=you&amp;showstorms=0&amp;map.x=400&amp;map.y=240&amp;centerx=400&amp;centery=240&amp;transx=0&amp;transy=0&amp;showlabels=1&amp;severe=0&amp;rainsnow=0&amp;lightning=0&amp;smooth=0\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/radblast-mi.wunderground.com\/cgi-bin\/radar\/WUNIDS_map?station=PAH&amp;brand=wui&amp;num=6&amp;delay=15&amp;type=N0R&amp;frame=0&amp;scale=1.000&amp;noclutter=0&amp;t=1293824059&amp;lat=0&amp;lon=0&amp;label=you&amp;showstorms=0&amp;map.x=400&amp;map.y=240&amp;centerx=400&amp;centery=240&amp;transx=0&amp;transy=0&amp;showlabels=1&amp;severe=0&amp;rainsnow=0&amp;lightning=0&amp;smooth=0\"><\/p>\n<p><\/font><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accuweather.com\/radar-large.asp?partner=netweather&amp;traveler=0&amp;site=KY_&amp;type=SIR&amp;anim=1&amp;level=state&amp;large=1#\"><b><font face=\"Arial\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"radar_img_6x4\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/sirocco.accuweather.com\/nx_mosaic_640x480_public\/sir\/inmaSIRKY_.gif\" usemap=\"#largemap\"><\/font><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Arial\">We also want to get you the latest information and tools to track Hurricane Irene.
