The Storm Prediction Center still has most of the Midlands under a slight risk or level 2 for bad weather tonight as a few of these storms could be on the strong to severe side capable of producing intense downpours, gusty winds up to 60 mph and even some small hail. Minor flooding will also be a concern if heavy rains move over areas that already received 1-3 inches of rain earlier today.
