The threat of severe thunderstorms has increased across various regions, with potential for damaging winds, hail, and a few tornadoes. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued warnings for severe wind gusts that could cause widespread damage, including power outages and snapped trees. The severe weather threat is expected to peak between 4 PM and 11 PM, with storms weakening overnight but lingering rain tapering off by Thursday morning. High humidity levels also pose a localized flash flooding risk. A slight risk of severe thunderstorms has been expanded to cover entire forecast areas, with a line of storms expected to track across regions this evening. Some storms are classified as level 2 out of 5 risk, and storms will be hit or miss, especially early in the evening.
