However...taking things one step at a time...and starting with tonight...the vast majority of our coverage area will likely remain dry until at least 2 or 3 AM. Anytime after that though...scattered showers and overall-weak thunderstorms will begin pushing into our area from the west and northwest...with this initial round of activity lasting well into the daylight hours Thursday...and maybe even into early afternoon. Then...the majority of Thursday afternoon and early evening should feature a lull in storm chances...as south winds gusting as high as 25 to 35 MPH helps high temperatures warm into the upper 70s to mid 80s. Then...at some point later in the evening...but most likely not until after 9 PM...another round of scattered thunderstorm activity is expected to arrive from the west...with some of these storms probably becoming severe and posing a risk for large hail and/or damaging winds as they gradually work across our coverage area into the early Friday morning hours. Please note that there is still some uncertainty regarding EXACTLY what parts of our area are most favored for possible severe storms...but anywhere in our area at least stands a chance...and as a result...nearly our entire area is currently under a Slight Risk of severe storms...level 2 out of 5...so please be weather-aware Thursday evening into early Friday morning. $$
