We have more severe weather chances in the forecast today and again it looks like the High Plains could see the worst of today's weather.  All severe weather modes will need to be monitored with the storm chances today with large hail, damaging winds and tornadoes will all be possible.

Severe Outlook

  You can see the "Slight" risk of severe weather over Montana, but a "Marginal" risk of severe weather (Isolated) will be possible from the Plains all the way through the Ohio Valley.

Severe Risks

The damaging wind and hail threat will line up with those areas under the severe weather risk.  The tornado risk will be confined to Minnesota and Iowa for Saturday.  Des Moines up to Minneapolis will all need to watch out for the threat of tornadoes.

Forecast

Here is a look at the latest timing for storms today with a focus on the "Slight" risk and where the tornado risk will be high.
