A more unsettled weather pattern returns to the region for the latter part of the week into the weekend. Scattered thunderstorms are expected daily during the afternoon and evening hours, becoming more isolated as they diminish in coverage and strength into the overnight. While this activity is expected to be non-severe, a few storms with gusty winds, small hail, and/or frequent lightning cannot be ruled out. On the plus side, temperatures will be near to even slightly below average with highs in the upper-80s for most.
