Strong Storms Possible this Afternoon; Air Quality Alert
As we head into the afternoon hours, an upper-trough moving across the area, along with a warm, moist air mass means we are going to see additional rain and storms the rest of today. Some of these storms will be strong to marginally severe and the SPC maintain “marginal risk” (level 1/5) for severe storms today.
