7-Day Forecast

Patchy fog will be possible before sunrise Thursday morning which could reduce visibilities below one mile in some locations. Should any fog develop, it should dissipate a few hours after sunrise as temperatures rise.

As a strong cold front moves over the region, a few severe thunderstorms appear possible late Thursday afternoon and early evening.

Rain/storm chances are much higher and more widespread with a system coming through on Friday night into Saturday. So far not expecting any severe storms with this upcoming system, Areas south of I-40 could see storm total rainfall accumulations between 1-2 inches between Friday night until it moves out early Sunday morning.
