[April 10, 2008]  An intense storm system is expected to push northward out of southern Oklahoma toward southern Iowa by late Thursday. A warm front will approach from the south, bringing periods of rain and thunderstorms into early Thursday afternoon, followed by the threat for scattered severe thunderstorms late in the afternoon and Thursday night.

The greater risk for severe storms will be south of Interstate 70 later Thursday afternoon and evening. These storms could produce damaging winds, large hail and a few strong tornadoes.

Farther north, the coverage of severe storms will not be as great, but there is still the risk for a few storms to produce damaging winds, large hail and tornadoes late Thursday afternoon and into the evening hours, especially close to the low pressure area and warm front.

Logan County Emergency Management Agency anticipates activating spotters later Thursday afternoon through Thursday evening -- roughly from 4 p.m. until midnight.
