Risks are golf ball size hail, winds 60-80 mph, and the tornado threat is “very low”. See attached graphs for today and Sunday. Keep in mind that these will change during the day as data-sets change.

2- The main push from storms overnight were mainly in Grant County. We are dealing with some heavy thunderstorms now-0338L- in the eastern part of the county but nothing major at this time.

3- Overall, we’ll be ok so just stay weather aware later today and tonight and we’ll advise as needed.
