Should Marion Expect Thunderstorms, Hail and Heavy Rain Tonight?

The National Weather Service has announced a hazardous weather outlook; saying that there's a high chance of thunderstorms tonight, and a lesser chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon.

It's been uncomfortably hot the last few days. Highs in the 90s have left me turning my air conditioning on high and making frequent trips to the freezer, where I'll rest my head temporarily.

Today and tonight, though, it might get uncomfortably wet.

The National Weather Service is calling for a hazardous weather outlook; a high chance thunderstorms this afternoon and tonight.
