Conditions will settle down by midday Saturday. Quiet weather can be expected to carry over into Sunday and into early next week.

FRIDAY: Clouds are increasing this morning and will continue throughout the day. It will be very warm with highs in the lower 80s with a brisk south wind at 10-15 mph. A few showers and storms are possible during the afternoon. Higher odds of scattered storms will return by the evening hours. Large hail could become an issues with some of the storms Friday evening.

FRIDAY NIGHT-SATURDAY MORNING: Clusters of rain and storms will develop Friday evening after 7pm and last through 7am Saturday. Data suggest that they’ll eventually merge into some sort of squall line that will then march from NW to SE across the area. Damaging wind gusts, large hail, flooding rain, and isolated tornadoes are all possible. Be sure to have a way to get those watches and warnings since most of this will occur during the overnight hours. Overnight lows will be in the low 60s.
