Some of those storms could be on the strong side with some gusty winds, heavy rain & lightning. Tornado threat is low, but not zero. As of right now, we remain under a Level 1 Risk. Stay tuned! Thanksgiving looks seasonable and sunny. More rainy and potentially stormy weather is in the forecast for Black Friday and the rest of the long holiday weekend.
