Multiple rounds of showers and storms are expected today. Heavy rain is the most likely hazard with storms this morning, with isolated instances of flooding possible. This afternoon and evening, additional rounds of storms are likely (40-60%), and while confidence is low that storms will be severe, a few damaging wind gusts in the strongest ones. Afternoon storms are most likely in northern areas, with evening storms more likely further south.
