ADDITIONAL STORM CHANCES DEVELOP SATURDAY FOR MAINLY EASTERN

DAMAGING WINDS, ALONG WITH A LOW TORNADO THREAT, WILL EXIST MAINLY

STORM CHANCES WILL REMAIN FOR THE EARLY TO MIDDLE PART OF
NEXT WEEK IN RESPONSE TO A SECOND LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING
THROUGH THE PLAINS. DEPENDING ON THE EVOLUTION OF THIS SECOND
STORM SYSTEM, THE TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY TIME FRAME MAY FEATURE

IN ADDITION, A THREAT FOR HEAVY RAIN AND LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING
WILL EXIST FROM SATURDAY INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. DEPENDING
