NOW: The threat for severe weather has increased

Enjoy today, because tomorrow begins our increased risk for strong to severe storms.

The SPC has now placed both Sunday and Monday at a Slight Risk (2/5) for severe storms. The main threat looks to be damaging winds? While the chance is low, we can't rule out a spin-up tornado.
