0255L-WEDNESDAY OUTLOOK FROM GARFIELD COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT-6/21/23

* We are in a MARGINAL risk for severe weather later today and tonight. IF STORMS OCCUR, high winds and hail will be the main threats. There is a 20% chance. This said, there is a chance we could see thunderstorms, this morning, in the area moving in from Kansas so we’ll keep an eye out there too. These storms appear that they would be high based storms and would pose a wind and hail threat IF they develop this far south. We’ll see what happens.
