On Saturday, expect a dry start to the morning with scattered rain and storms moving in by the late morning and continuing through the afternoon.

The Storm Prediction Center has our area in a Level 1 Risk for Severe Weather as a few of the storms we see could become strong to severe. Damaging winds and heavy rain are the main threats, but there is also a low-end tornado threat.

Storms look to move out by the early evening.
