It will be quite a bit calmer today with the wind easing back and the chance for rain near zero. We may have a few clouds in the area, but that is about as ‘severe’ as the weather should get for today.
Tomorrow, though, we have to deal with more storms. And it looks like they may come in two rounds and both rounds may have a chance to offer a severe storms with brief heavy rain, lightning, gusty wind, and small hail. And perhaps even the chance for a brief tornado.
The first round of storms looks to arrive in the late afternoon / early evening on Saturday. And the second round of storms shows up overnight Saturday and into Sunday morning.
It looks like, at this time, that the first round of storms will be mainly for area along and south of HWY 98 and the second round of storms will be mainly for areas north of HWY 98, but I think there may be some crossover in there, too, so I’d prepare like it was going to impact everyone for the moment.
Once this rolls through, it looks like we stay dry to start next week.
