Local Weather Concerns:
STORMS: Any storm that forms today could contain heavy rainfall, frequent lightning, and isolated damaging wind gusts. Those storms will be very isolated but could have a kick.
An increased chance for storms begins again Sunday and extends into Monday. Once again, any storm that forms could be on the strong side. The Storm Prediction Center has highlighted our area in the slight risk for severe storms for both days.
MM Weather Watchers: I have the data sheet ready for today, just in case you get a storm.
