Probabilities are relatively low, but they're also non-zero. Monitor radar and have a way to get any warnings for your area if they're needed.

The atmosphere settles down near sunset and the storm axis shifts eastward rapidly by 9 p.m. After a quiet night and early Friday, we'll be monitoring the southern half of the state for supercell storm potential.
