.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Periods of scattered showers and storms are expected to move east

golf ball size, wind gusts to 70 mph and isolated tornadoes.
Storms are then expected to evolve into linear segments capable of
damaging wind gusts up to 70 mph. Heavy rainfall could also
produce ponding in low lying or poor drainage areas or areas with

If you have outdoor plans, especially later today into this evening,
have multiple ways to receive warnings and be prepared to seek
shelter should storms approach your location.
