In-Depth:
This weekend marks the unofficial start to summer and we are dealing with weather that doesn't support being outdoors. Showers and storms are forecasted throughout the weekend, and a Storm 5 Alert will be in effect Sunday through Monday morning.
All hazards are in play with any storms that become severe Sunday, including tornadoes. With how saturated the ground already is there is a concern for flash flooding as well.
This is the updated timing as of 6 p.m. Sunday.
While storms should be out of here by mid-morning Memorial Day, we cannot rule out an isolated shower or two in the afternoon.
