NWS/SPC has issued a 𝗦𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗠 𝗪𝗔𝗧𝗖𝗛 for the counties in YELLOW in the attached image through 9:00pm today.

𝗘𝗣𝗔𝗪𝗔 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Storms this afternoon and evening. Best chance for strong or severe storms mostly in a 2-8 PM window, though farther south and east can linger beyond. Most storms will be in the 30-40 mph range on winds, however, there is an upward potential of 60 mph+. in the strongest storms. Rain will be locally heavy. Hail should not be an issue. The risk of a brief, weak tornado spin up is very low, but non-zero.

No photos but the indoor is all set up and dust free for riding & lunging.
Outdoor has puddles but is safe if you want to hose horse & equipment post riding

No photos since I’m cleaning the house up.

Come work your horses. 👍👍👍
