Thanks for joining us. I'm meteorologist Skyler de Harmon. We continue to track
these showers and storms as they move through. So we're gonna continue to do
so as we progress throughout the rest of the evening. But as we head
throughout this evening, there's gonna be additional rounds of some
thunderstorms. The question is, how strong do they get? So we're gonna
continue to be monitoring it. But as we head into later parts of tonight,
there's gonna be additional rounds. I would say another two or three rounds
are possible with this. So depending on how much energy we get out there in
atmosphere is gonna impact how severe these storms get. I'm talking the
potential for dangerous and destructive. Now, as we head into the overnight,
things are gonna improve. But until we get there, we do have that severe
thunderstorm threat, the potential to have numerous severe and dangerous
storms in our area. We've already seen a rough start to the afternoon and
evening, and we're gonna continue to see that potential. Now, depending on
how these juice up, we have the potential to see those gusts of
miles per hour. There's also the potential for some hail between an
inch and two inches. It's easy for with this smoke to get some of those bigger
hailstones because there's more particles to cling onto. There's also
the chance to have some rotation within this, which could lead to some tornado
threat. So seeing this, we have the chance this brownish color that's gonna
indicate there's the potential in our area to have a few tornadoes. Not a
guarantee in every neighborhood, but there is the chance. So this comes from
those rotating thunderstorms. The wind gets so intense, the conditions get just
right that there could be some of the rotation that can chance continues into
tonight. We've already had those flash flood concerns. We've seen those
advisories, those warnings issued. We continue to be in a medium flash flood
risk, which means we could continue to have some of those scattered flash
floods. So want to be mindful, want to continue to check in on your neighbors,
especially if they're in some of those lower levels and talking about basement
apartments, garden apartments, even first floor apartments. So want to be
extra safe as we progress throughout this evening. We're gonna continue to
keep an eye on this as
