SUMMARY: A cold front has pushed through the region which has allowed the severe weather threat to push out to our east. For us here back home, we are continuing to deal with some lingering showers even some thunderstorms this Thursday morning. We’ll have a much cooler & cloudy day with some rain chances Thursday afternoon. A few snowflakes could mix in as we go down to near freezing Thursday night. The sunshine will make a return on Friday. A fairly decent weekend is ahead before more showers and thunderstorms return to the forecast next week.
