Tracking scattered showers and storms….Have your rain gear handy! We’re tracking showers and storms in today’s forecast. Some of those storms could be strong to severe.
As we move through our Friday, a cold front will push in from the west, giving way to scattered rain and storms. Rain will build through mid-morning into the afternoon in an on and off fashion.
