Current Weather Synopsis Strong to severe thunderstorms are possible this evening. The main threats are damaging wind gusts and hail, though a low-end tornado threat remains possible. Localized flash flooding could occur with the heaviest thunderstorms, or for any areas that get hit repeatedly. A cold front crosses late Friday into early Saturday bringing more showers and thunderstorms to the area. Much of the weekend looks to remain unsettled, particularly on Saturday as a secondary cold front crosses the region. Next week looks to start out cooler than normal and unsettled.
