Same, people have told me about it but I haven't heard anything myself. I was intending to bring an umbrella to work, but otherwise not much more prep.
We're in an "Enhanced" level of risk, which is fairly high, third out of five levels. Strong winds aloft and plenty of moisture will set the stage for potential severe weather. T-storms that do develop can bring those winds down to the surface for damaging straight-line winds and possibly tornadoes if there's enough shear to get rotation.
Not 100% certainty that it will be a significant event, but definitely bears watching and staying alert.
From what it sounded like on ABC, the greatest threat is for straight-line winds up to 60 mph. There is lesser risk for tornadoes or hail.
I don't think there's need for significant storm prep (other than securing anything that can blow around and making sure you'll be okay without power for a few hours). But I think people just need to be aware of the timing of the storms so they have the option to adjust their commute as needed. If the worst of the storms hit during rush hour, it can create a mess.
