Several waves of strong to potentially severe storms are expected
through the forecast area through Friday. For the remainder of

the entire region for Thursday and Thursday night, with the
potential for several waves of activity to move through the

just ahead of a cold front, then drier conditions begin moving
in Friday night through the weekend.
Thunderstorms may produce gusty and erratic winds in excess of
40 mph. Otherwise, 20-ft winds generally southwesterly at less
than 15 mph though a few gusts to around 20 mph are possible
during peak heating hours.
Fog potential: Patchy fog in river valleys possible.
