So far, the main threat from this system has been damaging winds and large hail as a cold front head in our direction. If you have plans to o be outdoors tonight, make sure you have a way to receive warnings and can move indoors immediately if a storm pops up!
The good news is Memorial Day is looking much calmer, with only a chance for a stray shower or storm in the afternoon.
