Scattered storms are expected this afternoon; a few of these could be severe. Strong winds and large hail are the greatest threats, but an isolated tornado will also be possible. The highest risk for severe weather will be in our far northeast counties, which are in an enhanced risk (level 3 of 5), with decreasing severe weather potential the further west we go towards the mountains.
Isolated severe storms are possible for Sunday afternoon. Strong winds and large hail are the greatest threats, but short-lived tornadoes are also possible mainly for the Palmer Divide. The highest risk is for the northeast plains where a slight (2/5) to enhanced (3/5) risk is in place. Otherwise, expect beneficial rainfall for Sunday afternoon through the day on Monday.
