Storm chances continue midweek
Storms and widespread showers will continue on Wednesday, April 30.
The higher severe storm potential will be Wednesday afternoon into the evening, with large hail and damaging winds as the main threats. A couple of tornadoes are also possible, according to the NWS.
Flash flooding will also be a concern Wednesday, due to the multiple rounds of rain this week. Average rainfall amounts through Wednesday could be between 1 to 3 inches.
More storms are likely Thursday, May 1, through Saturday, May 3. As of now, the severe threat will be low, however, the NWS said there will be a flash flooding threat due to the already saturated soil in some areas.
