to around 25 mph and be variable in direction in or near
thunderstorms. Periods of showers and storms are forecast today
through Saturday. Rain amounts are tricky to pinpoint given the
scattered/broken nature of activity but are forecast to average
near one-half inch, except higher in thunderstorms.
