Strong to severe thunderstorms look possible Sunday as the main front brings in a line of thunderstorms before lunchtime.

Timing of storms looks most likely in the morning - starting between 4-6 AM -with clearing later in the afternoon. The severe threat is much higher for areas west of the CSRA Saturday and Saturday night.

Gusts outside of thunderstorms will be capable of gusting up to 40 mph - but the stronger gusts will be associated with the storms moving through early in the day potentially up to 50-60 mph.
