Now is the time to know where you would go if a tornado warning comes out. If you live in a manufactured or mobile home, make plans to be at a sturdier structure, like a friend or family member’s house, tomorrow evening.

In addition to the severe weather risk, thunderstorms tracking over areas that have already received heavy rainfall may lead to localized flooding. A flood watch remains in effect through 11PM tonight.
