The severe thunderstorm watches and warnings may have subsided for now, but don’t be surprised if they pop up later today.

There’s a 50 percent chance that Howard County will see rain and thunderstorms today, according to the National Weather Service, and an even likelier chance that storms will roll in this evening.
