There are several ingredients which will aid in severe storms this afternoon. High shear, high CAPE/energy and the sun.
If any of these ingredients is reduced, then the severe weather risk will also be reduced.

This is why cloud cover on severe weather days is such a good thing.
The severe storms will roll in between 2pm-7pm. Stay weather aware!
