A pair of severe thunderstorm warnings impacted Marion and Warren Counties this morning, bringing needed rain to the area and the potential for hail. The KNIA/KRLS Severe Weather Action Team was on the air from approximately 7:10 to 8:00 a.m. for a round of storms that showed radar-indicated potential for large hail, with five staff members contributing to coverage. This marks the last significant chance for precipitation long term, as according to the National Weather Service, dry conditions should dominate with slightly above-average afternoon high temperatures in the low-to-mid 80s well into the first week of September. The KNIA/KRLS Severe Weather Action Team is on the air for any severe thunderstorm or tornado warning for any portion of Marion and Warren Counties, with backup generators ensuring the coverage stays on if the power goes out.
