Threats relating to the severe storm outlook include damaging winds, large hail and flooding.
According to the Capital Weather Gang:
“Between 3 p.m. to 8 p.m., thunderstorms are likely — some of which may produce torrential rain and damaging wind gusts. Rainfall across the region should average 0.5-1.0 inches, but amounts are likely to vary with locally higher and lower amounts to be expected. Flash flooding cannot be ruled out in the hardest hit locations.”
Happy Monday! Strong/severe storms expected this afternoon. Stay weather alert today. https://t.co/wQEpogxYI8 https://t.co/q8VeZqt6m6
