There is another threat for strong to severe storms Friday afternoon/evening and possibly again on Saturday. However, confidence in severe weather is low at this time due to uncertainties in frontal placement/timing. Make sure to stay updated on the latest forecast!

Drier weather is expected to return on Sunday into early next week with more seasonable temperatures as well.
