00:00Heavy showers, a couple of rumbles of thunder. That's about it with this one, but we'll see more in the hours to come a little farther south and west.
00:07And there is a lot of warmth and instability to fuel these storms, so temperatures are still way up there.
00:1388 in Dallas, 89 degrees into Lubbock, Texas. Very warm to the east. Still 64 in D.C.
00:19We're going to be watching the warmth expand a little bit more to the east, but it's the central U.S. where the core of this is.
00:24So the thunderstorms, spotty right now. They're basically in the northwestern edge of our yellow zone.
00:30So as the disturbance moves farther east, we will see a little more activity in this area all the way down into northern parts of Oklahoma this evening.
00:38And tonight, hail, damaging wind, and flash flooding. But the bigger risk for severe storms comes in on Saturday.
00:44This will be driving some gusty winds in many areas. In advance of this, it will be warm and delightfully nice here.
00:50More like early September weather in Nashville for the LSU-Vanderbilt game.
00:54Ole Miss at Georgia late afternoon. Looking good. Still dry here.
00:57We don't need to be worried about storms in those areas during the day tomorrow, but we will farther west.
01:02So we're watching for some gusty wind-producing thunderstorms into parts of Arkansas, southern Missouri, Saturday, and then into the Ohio Valley as well.
01:10And the greatest threat here is going to be damaging wind.
01:13Moderate risk. That's two out of four on the AccuWeather Threat Level Index.
01:16Northern Arkansas, southeast Missouri, and into areas just east of the river.
01:20But wind is the main concern here, Anna.
01:22There could be isolated tornadoes, some cases with flash flooding and some hail as well.
01:27But in the northeast, we have a great Saturday and then a slightly more questionable Sunday, depending on where you live.
01:33Yeah, the same storm system. It's going to bring impacts for the Ohio Valley and the northeast as well.
