The first round would likely develop shortly before midnight west of the metro tonight. Storms will move eastward impacting the metro shortly after midnight. A few storms could become severe with downpours, lightning, gusty winds and some hail. The best chance for strong storms will be after midnight through the Friday morning commute.
Isolated strong storms are possible after midnight tonight.(wowt)
These will be scattered storms so it’s likely that some of us will miss out on rain with these.

By mid to late morning, we’ll be able to clear some, warm and recharge the atmosphere before the next round of storms later that evening. It will be windy with south gusts up to 45 mph possible helping to send our highs into the 60s that afternoon.

The evening storms that develop have the potential for wind gusts, large hail and a tornado or two as they move ESE into the evening. The most likely window for these would be 3pm-8pm. The greatest tornado threat is likely to be in our southeast counties and farther south into Kansas and Missouri.
