Strong storms are possible Tuesday afternoon and evening.
TV-13 meteorologist Doug Meyers says all hazards are possible into the evening hours, but he’s most concerned about heavy rain.
Hail up to half-dollar size and winds up to 70 mph are possible. Meyers says tornadoes can’t be ruled out, but the atmosphere is not that conducive to tornadic activity.
Once we get past early evening, storms will be isolated with widespread shower activity expected.
