Scattered Severe Storms Saturday Afternoon

Elevated fire weather conditions are expected this afternoon across the plains. There is potential for an isolated shower this afternoon around the Palmer Divide, but most of the rain should evaporate before hitting the ground, creating gusty winds.

Scattered severe storms are expected for tomorrow afternoon. Strong winds and large hail are the greatest threats, but short-lived tornadoes are also possible. The far NE plains are in an enhanced (3/5) risk, northeast plains are in a slight (2/5) risk, and the rest of the area is in a marginal (1/5) risk.
