NOW: Some optimism that the risk for severe weather is slightly decreasing

Thanks to afternoon rain showers, the threat for severe weather is decreasing a bit. However, we are still not off the hook--don't let your guard down.

There are still elevated threats for storms later this evening. Still have a plan for severe weather. Stay up to date with the ABC57 Mobile Weather App.
