Arizona: @NWS predicts that severe storms will impact most of the state through this evening, bringing risks of hazards like tornadoes and hail. When thunder roars, go indoors! The safest place to be during severe weather is inside and away from windows.
A rare risk for tornadoes and severe weather exists across both the Desert Southwest and the Southern California Coastline today. Ensure you have multiple ways to receive weather alerts and warnings!
