Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected,
especially during the afternoon and evening. Locally heavy
rainfall, frequent lightning, and gusty winds are possible.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday...

Coverage of storms will generally be maximized during the
afternoon and evening hours each day. The risk for severe weather
remains low.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
