⛈️ Severe Weather Possible Thursday Afternoon/Evening ⛈️
Severe weather is expected this afternoon into this evening, with the greatest impacts during the evening hours (between 4:00 and 9:00 PM)

Strong thunderstorms may bring damaging wind gusts, heavy rain, frequent lightning, and the potential for large hail and/or an isolated tornado.

These conditions could lead to downed trees and power lines, scattered power outages, and hazardous travel due to reduced visibility and wet roads.

Pay attention to local forecasts and media for updates, and make sure you have multiple ways of receiving weather alerts if they are issued by the National Weather Service.
