A severe weather watch is likely to be issued due to a high probability of storms increasing in coverage and intensity. Damaging winds and large hail are the most probable severe weather threats.

The affected region includes areas near a surface low and a warm front. Storms have been maintaining intensity over the past few hours, producing severe hail and possible strong winds.

Further details about the severe potential and watch issuance are available from the Storm Prediction Center's forecast products, including a mesoscale discussion that provides more information about the weather situation.
