Severe Weather Preparedness Reminders

Chances of strong to severe storms will increase this afternoon and evening, with two main rounds of storms expected. Isolated to scattered storms are possible this afternoon into the early evening before north to south oriented line moves through mid/late evening. This line will pose the most favorable risk for severe storms. Damaging winds will be the main threat, with isolated tornadoes being a secondary threat.

Today’s severe weather risk will come in two distinct rounds: 1) 1 PM to 9 PM, with isolated to scattered storms, and 2) 9 PM to 2 AM tonight, with a widespread north to south line of storms. Confidence is higher for timing and severity of the line of storms tonight, with a damaging wind threat being the main threat. All hazards are possible with the afternoon and early evening activity.

Forecast timing of precipitation/storms (percent chance in the chart) for this afternoon through the overnight hours into early Friday morning.
