- Multiple rounds of storms again on Thursday, including in the morning, with a signal favoring along/north of I-80, and then redeveloping storms in the afternoon.
- The environment appears favorable for significant severe potential with each round on Thursday. But how widespread and the details are still somewhat uncertain.
- An Enhanced Risk (level 3 of 5) for severe weather covers the entire area, as we’re expecting additional rounds of storms capable of producing all hazards including tornadoes, damaging winds and large hail. Be sure to have multiple ways to receive warnings and stay weather aware! Storms will likely be fast moving and offer much less time than usual to act.
- More rounds of heavy rain could lead to flash flooding of creeks, streams, urban and low lying areas today, with the greatest risk this morning through early afternoon. Recent heavy rain has led to rises and some flooding on tributary rivers with additional rises on rivers possible. If you live near a flood prone area, please stay weather aware!
