Gusty winds and heavy downpours are expected, especially this afternoon and evening. A few severe storms with damaging winds are possible, and a couple of brief tornadoes may form. 

The main time for possible severe storms and spinup tornadoes will be this afternoon and this evening until midnight. The downpours could be heavy enough to cause some localized flash flooding. Western sections have the greatest potential for flooding, so a Flash Flood Watch is in place generally along and west of I-65 this afternoon and evening.
