“Main storm threats with any strong storms will be frequent lightning, small hail, gusty winds 40 to 50 mph, and locally heavy downpours. However, there will be the potential for isolated severe storms, producing quarter-sized hail and localized damaging gusts to 60 mph. A brief tornado or two will also be possible,” the NWS said.
