As that boundary lifts north this afternoon, we'll shift our focus inland.
Moisture from the remnants of Laura will help fuel strong afternoon storms. These could be damaging and move in quickly.
Friday Night Football starts tonight for many schools. Storms should be fading closer to sunset but can't rule out a couple of lightning delays early.
Plan on one more shot at thunderstorms Saturday before we dry things out to finish out the weekend.
