Storms will head our way later this afternoon and converge with a cold front dropping in from the northwest. That means another chance for a round of strong to severe storms through this evening with damaging winds and flash flooding being the main concerns.
Most of the area picked up between 0.50-1.50 inches of rain with some areas getting 2 inches or more yesterday.
If storms drop similar amounts tonight, we could have more flooding concerns. Once the front passes, temps will hang in the lower 80s all weekend with less humidity and some sunshine.
