A few strong thunderstorms are possible this afternoon and this evening. Funnel clouds, small hail, and wind gusts near 40 miles per hour are a few of the hazards associated with strong thunderstorms, according to the National weather service Hanford.

In addition to the dangerous cloud to ground lightning strikes, any thunderstorm can produce intense rainfall rates, leading to localized flooding. Please post any photos or videos of the weather in the comments section or send them to our email at mercedgwnews@gmail.com.
