Storms should begin to fire between 3 pm  and 6 pm. The 4 km NAM show discrete cells forming across the region around 3 pm.

These discrete cells are what pose the most danger, as a majority of tornadoes are produced by supercells. A secondary line of storms may move through late tonight into early Sunday morning. While these storms may also be severe, the main show will be late this afternoon and early evening. The 4 km NAM brings the second round through around midnight. The second round of storms could very well produce large hail, gusty winds, and heavy rain, with a threat for an isolated tornado.

The earlier the rain clears out this morning and any amount of sunshine this afternoon will lead to increased risk for supercells to develop this afternoon. Once again, tornadoes are possible with this type of setup, so make sure to stay up to date with the latest weather information this afternoon.
