First Alert Weather Day(First Alert 6)

There likely won’t be any more than 2 or 3 storms that are able to get going to our west near or after 6pm but those that develop will be able to strengthen quite a bit. As you can see, models show just a couple of intense storms developing with the best odds near and north of I-80.

7pm Radar(First Alert 6)

The few that develop run the risk of producing large hail, perhaps as large as tennis balls. Wind gusts are possible too and we’ll have to wait for tornado to try to develop from the strongest storm but those threats are less than the hail risk.
