The best chance for severe storms will be over the course of this evening until about midnight. The biggest threat from any storms that pass through your area is heavy rain and frequent lightning. Power of 5 Meteorologist Katie McGraw will be watching for damaging winds and small hail.

The air is very humid, and these storms will dump a quick inch or two in a short time, with localized flooding possible.
