Severe Storms Thursday Afternoon

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mainly cloudy and quiet with just a slight chance for a passing shower. Lows in the upper 50s to lower 60s.

THURSDAY:  An band of showers and storms will be in a weakening phase as it approaches during the morning hours; however, storms will intensify during the afternoon and early evening as they move east across the region.  Our window of severe weather potential appears to be between 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.  Damaging wind gusts and isolated tornadoes remain the key concern in addition to several inches of rain that may cause some localized flash flooding.  Some hail can’t be ruled out either.  Daytime highs should generally be in the 70s with southerly winds picking up between 10 and 25 mph.
