Waves of stronger to possibly severe storms will start throughout the morning and continue throughout the afternoon.

Heavy rain, isolated damaging wind gusts, and a brief, spin-up tornado look to be the threats on Thursday.

One to two inches of rain will also be a threat we deal with through Friday.

A localized flooding risk may develop if rain comes down a little heavier than what is currently expected, but as of now no flood watches have been posted.

Low-laying areas are most vulnerable.

We will continue to provide updates.
