Primary concerns for afternoon storms come from possible damaging winds and heavy rain. Hail is also possible. The storms are mainly expected east of I-77. There is a low chance of localized flash flooding.
The front will continue to bring on-and-off storm chances on Friday before it finally moves out of the region Friday night into early Saturday.
There will be a massive range in rainfall amounts, with some areas receiving less than 0.25 inches and others receiving 2 inches or more. Areas that experience the heaviest rainfall could also be affected by localized flooding.
The chance for storms diminishes Friday evening, with the weekend looking drier.
