The weather service said if severe storms form, large hail will be the primary threat. There is a conditional risk for isolated tornadoes, according to the weather service.
If the warm front moves into the region, then there will be a risk for a few tornadoes due to very strong shear near the front, the weather service said.
Since the storm system is two days away, it is likely that the storm map will change, according to the weather service.
