*** Damaging wind gusts and large to very large hail threat continues ***

A convective system that is currently crossing Croatia has a history of producing hail up to 9 cm in diameter over Slovenia and severe wind gusts over both Slovenia and Croatia. After becoming a well developed bow-echo, the system has now become more cellular in nature, with two dominant cells, possibly supercells. This would mean that besides severe wind gusts, very large hail threat is also present. Storms will spread towards Bosnia and Serbia, where the higher T-Td spreads may further increase the risk of damaging wind gusts.
