1. Warm weekend - thunderstorm chances increase a bit on Friday night into Monday. Can't rule out some storms approaching severe levels on Saturday. The atmosphere will be juiced up - so any thunderstorms that do form could produce heavy downpours (something we are used to in this region - summer type pattern). .
2. I continue to watch for a more organized severe weather event - most likely next week. I was thinking we could see severe storms as early as the weekend (and that may very well be the case) but I think the better shot will arrive with the main storm system and cold front. This would be the Tuesday-Thursday time frame. Plenty of time to keep an eye on all of the above. .
