today a 50% coverage is forecasted for the viewing area. most storms will be between 1pm - 7pm.

this weekend if you need dry weather, get out the door early. i am raising the forecast rain coverage to 60% for both saturday and sunday in the afternoon and evening hours.

severe weather threat will be mainly flash flooding, and a chance at some straight line wind damage. the hail threat is minimal but still there for a few more days.

have a great weekend, and have "plan b" ready to go for second half of the day.

Jim, your forecast was right on for this weekend! We planned around what you stated and had a wonderful weekend. And today, being mostly cloudy, we had some relief from the heat and was actually a beautiful day to spend out doors with the family!
