After a mild and quiet start to the week, Wednesday kicks off an unsettled stretch of weather that takes us through the weekend.
Some heard a bit of thunder early as morning storms rolled through. For most, it was just a damp start to the day. Then sunshine broke out and temperatures started to climb upwards of 80 degrees.
You’ll be tempted to put away the umbrella, go outside, and enjoy the day. Many will stay dry, but not all will be so lucky.

There is a chance for a few isolated storms to develop during the afternoon and early evening. Any storms that do develop could become severe, with the damaging wind gusts and even hail being the primary concerns.
Most after-school sporting events should be able to go on uninterrupted, though spectators may want to bring a small umbrella or rain jacket with them in case a pop-up storm causes a delay of game.
Flooding will not be a concern. Total precipitation Wednesday will stay under half an inch throughout the tri-state.
Shower chances will continue the rest of the week and into the weekend. Thankfully, severe weather is not forecast in our area for any other day. The most we’re dealing with beyond Wednesday is a scattered storm chance.
