“Saturday is designated as another First Alert Weather Alert Day due to the potential for severe thunderstorms in the region, Flood Risk beginning Saturday afternoon.

The morning on Saturday will begin mostly dry, with temperatures hovering around 80 degrees. A south wind, gusting up to 35 mph, will contribute to warm and humid conditions throughout the day.”

“Thunderstorms are forecasted to develop in the afternoon, Flood Risk becoming increasingly likely in the evening, with the highest chances for severe weather expected after 6 p.m. The most intense part of the storm system is anticipated to pass through during the overnight hours, around midnight.”

It’s crucial to have multiple ways to receive severe weather alerts on Flood Risk such as a NOAA Weather Radio. In the event of a tornado warning overnight, ensure your chosen method can wake you up promptly to seek safety.

While not all storms may be severe, there’s a potential for damaging winds, large hail, and flash flooding due to heavy rainfall. There’s also a chance of a strong tornado or Flood Risk.

Flooding remains the primary concern with this round of storms into the overnight hours, especially considering the rainfall earlier in the week. A Flood Risk is already in effect until Sunday.

This round of storms is expected to exit the area around 4 a.m. Sunday, with another round anticipated around 10 a.m. This system represents the main front and should clear the area by late Sunday afternoon
