Mostly a damaging wind and large hail threat with the strongest storms. Tornado threat will not be zero with any storms that develop this evening across Green Country. The severe threat will diminish after midnight with a lingering slight storm chance through the early morning hours. Lows by daybreak will reach the low 60s.

Thursday should be quieter, though still warm and humid. Afternoon highs are expected to reach the low to mid-80s, and breezy south winds will continue. A few isolated showers remain possible, but widespread severe weather is not expected.

Another strong storm system is forecast to move in late Friday. This system could trigger another round of showers and thunderstorms, some of which may become severe Friday afternoon and evening. Specific details are still uncertain.

A cold front will push through the region late Friday night into Saturday morning, bringing an end to storm chances in the early morning hours Saturday. Behind the front, conditions will turn cooler and drier. Morning lows both Saturday and Sunday should reach the 40s with highs Saturday in the mid 60s. Sunday looks a little warmer with upper 60s and low 70s likely.
