An isolated thunderstorm, or two, is possible anytime this afternoon, but severe storms are fairly unlikely. This evening and overnight, thunderstorm chances will increase as a large complex of storms is expected to push across most of our area from west-to-east...primarily between 9 PM and 4 AM. Some of these storms could be severe, and the entire area is under a Marginal to Slight Risk for severe activity. The overall- greatest threat for severe storms will favor counties along and especially west of the Highway 281 corridor, and the main hazards will be damaging winds up to 65 MPH and hail up to quarter size hail. A few brief tornadoes can`t be ruled out along the leading edge of the line of storms, as well. .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... Spotters are encouraged to 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 $$ Thies
