Our last round of severe weather before a bout of quieter weather is on our doorstep for this afternoon. The storms could come in two waves, with the first wave forming as early as noon and the second wave following on its heels a few hours later. How the severe weather threat with the second wave of storms evolves will depend on whether the first wave of storms can disrupt these later storms. Nevertheless, severe weather is likely with both rounds of storms if they form. Large hail and stronger tornadoes area favored with the leading wave of storms, but tornadoes could still occur with the second storm wave in addition to damaging winds. These storms will occur when many afternoon activities will be ongoing and schools letting out, so stay weather aware today!

✅️ If your vehicle stalls in rapidly rising water, abandon it immediately and get to higher ground.
