The rain should be light, but several more rounds of storms are expected throughout the weekend.

Friday: High – 80, Low – 68

Spring time thunderstorms make a return Friday. Nothing severe is expected, but pack an umbrella if heading outside as scattered storms will be present much of the day and into the evening.

These storms will be firing along and behind the warm front moving through the region early Friday morning. That is what will help us heat up near 80 degrees despite the cloud cover.
