The threat of severe weather on that day is a level 3 out of 5 or "enhanced risk." This means the chance of several significant severe storms is possible. We are expecting plenty of storm fuel in place and also wind energy.

This scenario sets up the potential of supercell storms developing which are capable of not only producing damaging winds, huge hail and tornadoes, but also strong long tracked tornadoes. 

All the severe weather and rain should be out of region by rush hour on Thursday morning. We expect to see more sun and less humidity.
