The map above shows storms at midnight tonight moving south across the region between midnight and 5a. Some storms will be strong, a few will be severe. The Storm Prediction Center has pasted the area with a Marginal to Slight Risk for severe storms given the setup.

The main concern will be for heavy rain, lightning, and gusty wind. A tornado can’t be ruled oiut, but the likelihood of a tornado is very, very low.

Storms will be possible again Friday afternoon, and perhaps even through the weekend. But those would be mainly afternoon summertime storms.
