We are in store for an active stretch of weather to end the week as a couple of storm systems will bring rounds of rainfall, strong to severe storm chances, and gusty gradient winds. Each round of showers/storms won’t produce an overly high threat of severe weather, however, each round will bring a possibility. Marginal risks from the Storm Prediction Center have been issued for today and tomorrow.

The first threat will be later this afternoon and evening as showers and storms produce locally heavy rainfall, lightning, gusty wind, and isolated tornado threat.

The next threat will be later Thursday into Thursday night as another storm system moves through the region. Locally heavy rainfall, lightning, gusty winds, and an isolated tornado threat will again be possible.

Gusty west winds between 30-40 mph will be possible Friday afternoon behind a strong cold front.

Cold low temperatures at and below freezing through the weekend may be hazardous to an early advancing growing season.
