Some storms could be strong to severe, with strong winds being the primary concern.
While the threats of hail and tornadoes are smaller, they cannot be completely ruled out.

A few snow showers may persist through the afternoon but should taper off before dinner time.
Gusty winds forecast for next few days
Winds are expected to pick up over the next few days, with gusts reaching near 20 to 25 mph through Saturday.
Thursday will see the highest gusts, potentially approaching 40 mph.
