It will stay chilly for another day with below normal temperatures, but Friday brings a return to our typical spring weather.
Highs on Friday will be in the mid-70s. Our next big storm system also arrives on Friday.
This storm system will bring a chance for widespread rain and thunderstorms. It is looking likely that storms on Friday could produce severe weather. As of now timing looks to be during the afternoon and evening hours, but there is still some uncertainty in the forecast. In the days to come we will be using the risk and timing. For now, plan on being weather aware on Friday.
