A cold front will arrive late Thursday, bringing thunderstorm chances back to the region. A few severe storms with large hail and damaging winds are possible. Make sure you have multiple way of receiving severe weather alerts!
Moisture lifting over a cold front will produce scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms Friday through Sunday with the best storm chances on Saturday. There will likely be periods of light rain or breaks in the rain, but confidence is low in where or when these will occur. Severe storms are not expected, but a few strong storms are possible late Friday night into early Saturday. Additionally, locally heavy rainfall may lead to flooding issues, particularly Saturday afternoon and evening.
