Where would you expect the bass to be?

Today is Thursday. I am planning to get out for the first time in 3 weeks saturday morning. Tonight the forcast is for stormy weather, possibly severe, and all day friday and friday night, more storms, possibly severe. Saturday morning it is a possibility of light rain clearing later in the morning. Then partly cloudy the rest of the day. And I am sitting here wondering, WWKD? That meaning "what would Kevin do"? The lake is a natural lake, not a reservoire, and there are no creek beds, dams, flooded timber or anything like that. It is 89 acres in size, with the predominate cover being cabage weed and lilly pads. Max depth is around 55 feet. The spawn finished a couple weeks ago. Water temp I am guessing is probably in the upper 60's. Several areas in shallower water are cabage or milfoil with it grown to the surface and forming a canopy. The lake has pretty clear water. I've never seen it murky. The lake gets some pressure, but not too bad since there is not much of a launch, just a sandy beach, with just enough road to park along for maybe 3-4 trailers. With all the storms that are supposed to roll through the area from now to saturday morning, I'm kind of at a quandry as to what to expect as to where the bass might be. If the storms ARE severe I expect them to drop into the deeper edges of the weedbeds. But also, I think I could find them in shallower water around 8 foot deep hiding under the weed formed canopies. I'm thinking probably a medium diving crank like a DT10 worked along the outer edges of the weedbeds would work as well as a beaver worked right through the heavier weed pockets. Maybe a large spinnerbait worked over and through the tops of deeper weedbeds where canopies have not formed. How would you approach this situation?
