Let’s be clear, these storm chances are nearly a week out. The timing isn’t perfected. However, this pattern is summer like and means storms will fire with the heat of the day. A general time range would be late afternoon and evening, likely lingering into the overnight hours.
While the severity of the storms aren’t known just yet, strong winds, heavy rain rates with downpours and frequent lightning are always to be expected.
Please stay alert throughout the spring season. Now is the time to prepare and know where our safe place is, just in case severe weather strikes.
