Today’s Forecast:
Today's storms look to start later in the day, mainly around 4-5 p.m., with the threat likely to continue over the Eastern Plains until midnight.
Overall coverage looks to be much less widespread today compared to the past few days, that's the good news! The bad news is that storms that form could produce 2-3" hail, 70-80 mph wind gusts, flooding, and tornadoes. If/when a storm warning is issued in your area, take that warning seriously by taking shelter in a basement or interior room away from windows.
