What To Expect And Tips
If you have outdoor plans this weekend, have a dry backup ready and secure lightweight patio furniture before the wind and rain arrive. Brief heavy rain could lead to slick roads and localized ponding, especially during stronger storms. Wednesday evening should remain dry, but keep an eye on forecast updates and any watches that might be issued if storms organize from Friday through Sunday.
