“Wednesday and especially Wednesday night into Thursday morning is becoming more concerning,” the NWS said. “Storms may be able to remain discrete (a single storm versus a line of storms), which would significantly increase our chance of seeing very large hail and strong tornadoes. “This is an evolving forecast that will likely change.”
