Over the last 15 hours or so the forecast for Saturday has changed. We are under a level 2 risk and some counties under a level 3 for severe weather. The main concern is damaging winds, but large hail, and a low tornado risk is in play. While some storms are possible in the late morning and afternoon, the main event looks to arrive in the late evening. Storms could move in from the west or northwest around 10 pm and continue for a few hours. Stay weather aware!
