Severe Storms Friday Afternoon - Saturday Morning

Heavy Rain Potential Friday - Saturday

Expect severe thunderstorms to develop from west to east beginning mid-afternoon on Friday, lasting into Saturday morning. All severe hazards will be possible within the strongest storms, including large hail (1 to 2+"), damaging wind gusts (70+ mph), heavy rain/flash flooding, and a few tornadoes (possibly strong). Be sure to stay weather aware tomorrow, and have multiple ways to receive warnings!

In addition to the severe weather potential, heavy rain will once again be a threat Friday afternoon into Saturday. Most locations should see between 0.5 and 1.5" of rain, though localized amounts to 2 or 3" will be possible in areas that see multiple and/or training storms. As such, flash flooding will become a concern during this time.
