Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey's First Warning Forecast
After a break from storms and heavy downpours for most of us on Friday, messy weather returns on Saturday. In fact, we could see a few strong-to-severe storms.
The cold front that ushered in the milder, but soggy weather will throw it in reverse and move back north on Saturday. That will help spark more showers and storms, especially in the afternoon and evening.
Slow-moving storms could produce flooding downpours and damaging straight-line wind gusts.
That front should move far enough north that our storm chances will be lower for the second half of the weekend on Sunday. But a few widely scattered storms are still possible.
As that front lingers across our region, we're expecting a decent chance for showers and thunderstorms just about every day next week.
But that will also help keep temperatures in check. We expect to stay at least a few degrees below normal all next week. Stay tuned.
