Storm Chances Continue Into The Weekend

Thursday stays warm, but scattered showers and thunderstorms remain possible. Showers and thunderstorms continue Friday.

The unsettled pattern may linger into Saturday and Sunday, when additional showers or thunderstorms could affect outdoor plans. Forecasters also note that repeated rounds of rain later in the week could create localized flooding concerns, so residents may want to keep an eye on changing conditions before making weekend plans.
