Showers and Storms This Weekend, Some Severe Storms Possible Saturday Evening.

TODAY: Early morning showers will fizzle out, with perhaps an isolated shower lingering through the morning. The chance for a few additional isolated downpours will exist in the late afternoon. More scattered showers and storms will develop into the evening and overnight hours. Highs in the low 70s, with lows around 60.

SATURDAY: A few scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible during the day. These storms could produce heavy rain and lightning that could disturb outdoor events, but the main threat for severe weather will be overnight as a line of storms moves through the area. This line of storms will be capable of producing strong straight line winds, hail, heavy rainfall, and perhaps a few tornadoes. This threat will exist into the pre-dawn hours Sunday morning but the severe threat should be over by sunrise Sunday. Highs in the upper 70s with lows in the mid 60s.

SUNDAY: Cloudy with the chance for a few isolated showers during the day. High temperatures will likely be set in the morning hours in the upper 60s and low 70s with cool air moving in later in the day. Overnight lows in the low 40s.

MON/TUE: Dry and calm weather to kick off next week with highs in the 70s. Overnight lows in the 40s Monday night and 50s Tuesday night.

WED/THU: Models indicate another robust system that would be capable of strong to severe storms in the Wednesday/Thursday timeframe. We will dig into this system a bit more once we get Saturday’s system out of our area.
