Heavy downpours will create localized flooding and quick-changing driving conditions, so watch for ponding of water on roadways, especially in poor drainage areas. Damaging wind gusts may also develop with stronger storms, and most of the wet weather will gradually end through the evening.

We’ll get a break between systems Saturday with mainly dry weather and more sunshine throughout the day, but more showers and storms return Sunday.

Right now, Severe Weather Team 11 is tracking the threat for a morning round of showers and storms with scattered storms possible through the afternoon. Any storms that develop could bring the threat for damaging winds.
