While the region received significant rainfall this morning, the greater severe weather threat is expected to accompany another overnight thunderstorm complex forecast to develop well to the west and move eastward into early Saturday morning. Damaging winds up to 75 mph, large hail, and a limited tornado threat are possible with this system, along with continued heavy rainfall. Be sure to have at least three ways to receive weather warnings, including alerts designed to wake you.

Strong to severe thunderstorms are expected to continue Saturday morning across parts of the area, with additional storms likely to develop into the afternoon and evening. Large hail and damaging winds will remain the primary threats, along with heavy rainfall.
