Our next storm system is still set to arrive by Friday. The latest Storm Prediction Center outlook has the entire region under an "enhanced" risk. This is a level 3, on a scale of 1 to 5.Â
Showers and storms will be possible beginning late Thursday night and into Friday morning. However, the chance for strong to severe storms will be focused during the late afternoon and evening Friday.Â
Damaging winds and tornadoes will be the main threats, if we can get enough instability. There is still some uncertainty with this system. However, you will want to stay weather aware and have multiple ways to get alerts.Â
Much quieter weather will return for the weekend, but more storms are expected by the beginning of next week.Â
