The National Weather Service says severe storms bringing damaging wind, hail and areas of moderate to locally heavy rainfall,  is anticipated this afternoon into tonight. Total rainfall amounts are forecast to average from a half an inch to one inch, with over two inches locally possible in some locations. The storms will follow a similar pattern to Wednesday, where development begins late in the afternoon and continues into the night-time hours. The heaviest rain is expected to fall from Highway 20 in the north, to Highway 34 in the south. One-half to one-inch of rain can be expected in most areas, with isolated amounts of two-inches or higher in some storms. There is the potential for Flash Flooding tonight, as well. Be prepared to take shelter if you plan on being outdoors, and to seek higher ground, should flash flooding develop.
