The greatest threat with storms will be high winds. 60mph and greater is the criteria for severe winds in a thunderstorm and we will flirt with that today. We will also have a concern for heavy rain that could lead to flash flooding, especially in flood prone areas. We also have an extremely low end threat for tornadoes with this system. The window for the greatest risk of storms will be 11am-4pm.
