Cloud to ground lightning will also be a risk with thunderstorms through tonight. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday Scattered to numerous afternoon into evening showers and thunderstorms are anticipated into Monday. The primary thunderstorm threats during this time-frame will be heavy rainfall capable of producing localized flash flooding, hazardous lightning, hail generally under the size of dimes and wind gusts around 50 mph at times. Then, generally isolated to scattered shower and thunderstorms, favoring higher terrain locations, should be noted from Tuesday into Friday. The more intense storms during this time frame will be capable of producing heavy rain and localized flash flooding, hazardous lightning, small hail and gusty winds. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
