As we head into the overnight, we will have more clouds moving into the area bringing us partly cloudy skies by daybreak. Temperatures will be into the low 50s for the morning.

Our chance for showers and storms picks up as we move through the day on Thursday as we see a few spotty storms across the area. We will see even warmer temperatures too with highs in the low 70s. Any storms we do see will knock temperatures down a bit. Winds from the southwest will be strong throughout the day as well, gusting up to 25 mph.

Wet weather will kick in late on Thursday night into Friday morning. A line of showers and storms sweeps moves across our area with the cold front. In the overnight hours, a defined line of rain will move through, bringing heavier downpours and a few thunderstorms. Because of this, the Storm Prediction Center has part of the Tri-State included in a marginal risk for severe storms, mainly due to a wind threat as the line comes through.

The most likely window for storms will be around 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. with lingering showers and isolated storms into the morning drive Friday. Damaging winds, larger hail, and minor flooding are the main threats.
