Severe Thunderstorms, 70-MPH Winds May Come to Marion Tonight

How about some severe thunderstorms to cool you off after reach into the triple digits? Does that sound good?

What about a nice breeze to wipe the sweat off your brow? How does 70 miles-per-hour sound?

Yes, my snarky tone is alluding to another hazardous weather outlook issued for Marion and the surrounding region by the National Weather Service. There's a possibility of thunderstorms, and, it looks pretty grim.

Don't let the tone fool you. That kind of win is near hurricane strength and canbe dangerous. Add to that the possibility of "golf-ball sized hail" and the potential of torrential rain that can add up to six inches. Take precautions.

Perfect.

There's also a heat-index warning for Saturday, as the index may approach 105 degrees, which should be hot enough to dry your clothes and work out any wrinkles in your shirts.

Here's to hoping none of this ever happens.
