A TORNADO WATCH is in place for much of the KBSI viewing area through 6:00AM Wednesday, May 8, 2024.

Strong to severe storms are going to be possible into early Wednesday morning. Large hail, damaging wind, and isolated tornadoes will be possible. Another round of severe weather is likely Wednesday afternoon and evening (see below).

Moving on to Wednesday. Severe storms are likely with a level 3 “Enhanced Risk” for severe storms. Large hail, damaging wind, and dangerous tornadoes will be possible.

Above is what our latest StormCast is saying for storms on Wednesday. Notice that there will be several waves of storms as the day progresses.

Any storm that forms will have the potential to form a dangerous tornado. Almost all of our viewing area is in the yellow shaded 10% area with hashmarks. Hashmarks mean the potential is there for EF-2 or larger tornadoes.

Hail in excess of 2″ in diameter is possible, as well. That’s larger than golf balls.

Damaging wind in excess of 60 mph is also possible during the day.

After Wednesday, we quiet down for several days.
