PERIODIC SHOWERS AND STORMS POSSIBLE THROUGH THE START OF THIS WEEKEND WITH COOLER TEMPERATURES

A large upper low is taking shape in the region and will dictate our pattern over the next few days, which will bring on and off chances for showers and storms across the region today through the start of the weekend. For today, some of those showers and storms are capable of producing locally heavy rains, especially in the morning. An axis of low level moisture convergence over the Northern Great Plains is set to move in toward our area along with some weak instability, supporting areas of heavy rain, but again these will be fairly localized. Temperatures today will be climbing to near average as we top out in the upper 70s and low 80s. Rainfall amounts will vary, but by this evening there are a few locations that could see a half inch to three quarters of an inch of rain, with locally higher amounts possible.
