Through roughly 2 or 3 AM, a line of thunderstorms will continue tracking across our area from west to east, primarily impacting counties along and east of the Highway 281 corridor going forward. While most of these storms are not expected to be truly severe, localized parts of the area will experience wind gusts as high as 50 to 60 MPH, along with small hail perhaps up to around nickel size. In addition, although overall-unlikely, a brief tornado cannot be ruled out along the very leading edge of the line of storms. Finally, very limited parts of the area could pick up at least 1.50 to 2.50 inches of rain in a short time, which could cause brief, mainly minor flooding issues. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday. Starting with thunderstorm potential: Although day-to-day details are still plenty uncertain, each and every day and night period, except Sunday daytime, currently carry at least small chances for thunderstorms for at least portions of the area...some of which could occasionally be severe. At this time, the majority of the area is under a Marginal to Slight Risk for severe activity Saturday late afternoon and evening, mainly between 5 PM and Midnight. Should any severe storms develop, they would primarily favor counties along and east of Highway 81, with quarter size hail and wind gusts up to around 60 MPH being the main threats. Turning to hot weather concerns: Sunday and Monday currently appear to be the overall-hottest days of the next week, with actual high temperatures well into the 90s in most places, and heat index values peaking between 100 and 105 degrees, especially along and south of the state line. Fortunately, at least breezy south winds are forecast each day. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Please report any hail, wind gusts around 55 MPH or higher...including any specific damage, and also any possible localized flooding that may occur. && More information may be obtained at the following web page: https://www.weather.gov/hastings $$ Pfannkuch
