The risk of severe weather we've been talking about for a week will arrive this afternoon with all threats possible. During the overnight, the Storm Prediction Center released today's risk for severe weather, with slight changes. One model puts the rough weather in our viewing area by noon, a little sooner than some other models. Storm movement will be from the west-southwest to the east-northeast. Damaging winds up to 70mph will be the primary concern.
