Showers and storms will be ongoing at the start of Thursday morning, with another round of activity expected mainly in the afternoon into Thursday night. A few stronger storms are possible with primarily an isolated wind threat. Rainfall totals through Friday will likely fall in the 1-2" range through early Friday.
