(Strong thunderstorms possible)…The National Weather Service says the potential is there.

The thunderstorms are possible into this evening in Imperial County. The Weather Service says the potential is contingent on breaks in cloud cover, allowing heating and destabilization of the atmosphere. They say should the right conditions arise, some storms could even approach severe limits with very strong winds, dense blowing dust, small hail and localized flooding. The Weather Service says the confidence factor in everything coming together is rather low, but the potential is there.
