Occasional showers and thunderstorms are expected today. The strongest storms will be this afternoon and evening. Gusty outflow winds, large hail, heavy downpours, and frequent lightning are possible.

This combined with already saturated soils in some areas from yesterday's storms will increase the threat of flash flooding. Burn scars and urban areas will be particularly susceptible to flooding.
