At the moment, a line of scattered storms is forming along a cold front to our north... moving southeast. Storms are expected to start moving in around 4:00pm... maybe a little earlier.

Any severe storms could produce strong winds and some hail, but they will be very hit or miss given the scattered nature of the storms.

We'll keep you updated as we get more information. If you're heading out this evening... especially for high school football... just be alert for changing weather conditions! -BA
