The primary risks include damaging winds, large hail, and flash flooding. Saturated soils in the region heighten the potential for flooding, which could disrupt transportation and damage property. Residents in flood-prone areas are especially vulnerable, as even 6 inches of moving water can pose significant dangers. The storms may also lead to power outages and hazardous travel conditions due to heavy rainfall and reduced visibility. Those in low-lying areas or near water bodies should remain vigilant and prepared to evacuate if necessary.
