We have an energetic set up in the atmosphere today to produce strong storms with the potential to turn severe. Many areas in our region have a Heat Index over 100ºF, proving the function of high heat AND humidity. That is the fuel for strong thunderstorms and possibly supercells. Add in a strong cold front connected to the remnant Low or Ghost of former Hurricane Beryl and we have a trigger to ignite the explosive development mid afternoon into this evening.

The majority of coins don't hold much value - a penny is worth just one cent, a nickel five, and a dime ten, but on occasion, the coins that make up your loose change can be worth way more than face value. That's definitely the case for some quarters in circulation that are worth over $2,000. The coins to be on the lookout for are Wisconsin state quarters that came out in 2004. The backs of all of those quarters show a wheel of cheese, a cow, and an ear of corn, but the valuable ones have something particularly special going on with the corn.
