There's the potential for severe weather over the next 48 hours, especially Thursday night with a flood watch in effect from 2 p.m. through 11 p.m. Thursday.

On and off downpours are possible during that time.


On the Big K Morning Show, AccuWeather meteorologist Dean Devore said heavy downpours are possible on and off with the potential for flooding.

"We're looking at an inch or two and I'm favoring maybe closer to an inch and a half," said DeVore. "The thing is, it's coming over time, it's more in waves, it isn't necessarily as steady and that's what was really problematic, the steady, heavy rain we had from the last scenario."

A tornado can't be ruled out as well.

"Damaging wind gusts, maybe it can spin up into a tornado, there may be a discrete cell that has damaging winds and some hail and a tornado," DeVore said.
