ONE HALF AND ONE INCH OF RAINFALL TO SOME LOCATIONS. OCCASIONAL

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE

MORNING…AND STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE BY EARLY

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS ALL OF CENTRAL

MUCH OF THE AREA THROUGHOUT TODAY AND INTO TONIGHT…THE GREATEST

THREAT APPEARS TO BE BETWEEN 1 PM AND 7 PM…AS A CLUSTER OF STORMS

MOVES ACROSS THE STATE. THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS AND

HEAVY RAINFALL WHICH COULD LEAD TO LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING.

HOWEVER…THERE IS STILL A SMALL CHANCE THAT AN ISOLATED OR EMBEDDED

TORNADOES. THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO DIMINISH
