There is a 20% to 40% chance of severe storms each afternoon and evening through the weekend. While many locations will remain dry, any storms that develop will pose a primary hazard of large hail and damaging wind gusts.

For Saturday and Sunday, meteorologists are watching the dryline to the west. A stronger disturbance is expected to trigger storms late Saturday afternoon in western areas, which will then track east into the evening. 

A similar setup is anticipated for Sunday, though storm coverage is expected to be lower.
