Some storms could be strong to severe, with strong winds being the primary concern.

While the threats of hail and tornadoes are smaller, they cannot be completely ruled out.

Rain transitions to snow Thursday

Rain showers are expected to continue through Thursday morning. As temperatures drop around lunchtime, the rain will likely change over to snow.

A few snow showers may persist through the afternoon but should taper off before dinner time.

Gusty winds forecast for next few days

Winds are expected to pick up over the next few days, with gusts reaching near 20 to 25 mph through Saturday.

Thursday will see the highest gusts, potentially approaching 40 mph.

Rain and snow chances this weekend and early next week

Two disturbances are expected to bring more rain and snow chances this weekend and early next week.

The first system will bring a rain-snow mix Friday night into Saturday morning.

The second system will bring rain from Sunday night into Monday.

On the back side of this system, a few lake-effect snow showers could occur on Tuesday and Wednesday.
