There is a Slight Risk (level 2 of 5) for severe thunderstorms late this afternoon and into the evening. While exact placement and coverage of severe thunderstorms is not entirely clear at this time, IF storms were to form, the primary hazards would be hail near the size of golf balls and damaging wind gusts near 65 MPH. An isolated tornado is also possible. Any thunderstorms that form will move east or southeast through the evening. Thunderstorm chances continue into the overnight and any severe threat should gradually transition to mainly a locally heavy rain threat. The greatest risk for heavy rain from thunderstorms repeating over the same areas is currently favored to remain mostly northeast to southeast of the Tri-Cities, but this is subject to change depending on how the afternoon and evening play out. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday. Off and on thunderstorm chances continue across portions of the area Sunday through Tuesday. && More information may be obtained at the following web page: https://www.weather.gov/hastings $$
