SUMMARY...Multiple intense supercells will likely continue to pose a
threat for large to very large hail this evening into the early
overnight hours as they move generally southeastward. The largest

tornadoes will also be possible with these supercells, especially

increasing concern as thunderstorms grow upscale into a cluster
