What to Expect:
After another quiet and comfortable day Wednesday, weather conditions become more active Thursday as a strong storm system approaches from the Great Lakes. Showers and a few thunderstorms are expected, especially during the afternoon and evening hours. While widespread severe weather is not expected, a few storms could become strong and gusty south winds may develop even outside of thunderstorms.
Once the system moves through Thursday night, a stretch of pleasant weather returns for Juneteenth and continues through much of the weekend with sunshine, comfortable humidity and temperatures near or slightly above normal. Another chance for showers may arrive by Monday.
