And we would love to see video of any storm footage you may get (safely!). You can upload that using our Now Local News App HERE. 

Below is what our latest StormCast weather model is saying for timing, duration, and location.

The main threat for these storms will be large hail. Hail in excess of 2″ is a possibility. This is bigger than a golf ball, and possibly bigger than tennis balls.

A few isolated tornadoes are possible, as well. A large area is highlighted below with a 5% chance. These will likely be short lived and of the lower end variety, but one or two stronger tornadoes can’t be ruled out.

Damaging wind in excess of 60 mph will be possible for just about the entire state.
