Impacts:

The main threats associated with any severe storms will be:

• Wind gusts greater than 60 mph will be possible

• Trees and powerlines could be damaged and lead to isolated/scattered power outages

• A few tornadoes will be possible

• In addition to the severe weather threat, rainfall of 1 to 2 inches is forecast with locally higher amounts possible.

• This rainfall could lead to ponding of water in low-lying areas and areas of poor drainage.
