Where heavy rain may cause problems
Farther north, an active front will continue to spark thunderstorms along it for the next couple days as it meanders in the Midwest, Great Lakes, and Mid-Atlantic and then slowly sinks southward. Thunderstorm complexes in the northern Plains/Upper Midwest through tonight have a threat of tornadoes, high winds, and hail.
Could there be hail?
Forecasters see 15% hail risk for hail today. That means hail is possible in the highlighted area, but it does not mean every location there will be hit.
