This one is going to be a difficult one to gauge. Not sure if there's enough wind shear to sustain it for long, but it's a multicell cluster, so you can have new cells blow up to replace any that do dissipate. I'd say hail is now a potential threat, and there's even some indication of at least broad rotation in one or two of the cells; with that southern turn it doesn't surprise me. A special marine warning was just issued and this one could be severe warned on shortly. Right now the NWS is estimating gusts at 40kts, which is a bit shy of severe status as far as wind goes, but the vertically integrated liquid and hail potential alone might push it above the threshold. One way or another, it's a dangerous storm which needs to be taken seriously.
