Isolated Severe Storms Possible Today South

There is a chance for showers and storms today into tonight, mainly south of I-80. Isolated severe storms are possible 3-10 pm near to south of Hwy 34. This activity is ahead of a cold front, which will usher in drier conditions on Thursday, albeit brief as the pattern remains unsettled with additional shower chances Thursday night and Friday. There will be plenty of dry hours as well.

We'll see a chance for showers and storms area-wide today, with those chances shifting mainly south of I-80 by this afternoon through evening ahead of a cold front. Peak storm coverage will be from 3-10 pm and especially along/south of Hwy 34 with isolated severe storms possible. Damaging winds, hail and localized flash flooding are the main storm hazards.
