Thunderstorms are forecast to develop and intensify this afternoon with an accompanying severe risk and continue through the evening. A threat for tornadoes will likewise develop this afternoon and persist into the evening and be most strongly associated with the stronger supercells. A strong tornado risk will probably develop late this afternoon into the evening as low-level wind shear increases. Large to very large hail (1 to 2.5 inches in diameter) and damaging gusts are also possible.

Scattered severe thunderstorms are forecast to develop and intensify through the afternoon and persist through the evening. The stronger storms will become supercellular and pose a risk for tornadoes (a couple being potentially strong), large hail, and damaging wind gusts. The tornado risk will seemingly be greatest during the late afternoon and continue into the evening coincident with stronger low-level wind shear that is forecast to develop.
