A line of storms will move into the area between about 5 and 8 p.m. Saturday.
Some showers may develop in the afternoon ahead of a cold front that looks to get here late in the day. As the front arrives, we will have warmed well into the 70s. The warm air will provide fuel for storms as the cold front drops in around dinner. Any storm that does develop could produce strong winds and heavy rain. The system should move fast enough that flooding is not a major concern, but if we see heavy rain on swollen rivers, that could push them out of their bank.

Damaging wind is the primary concern from any storm on Saturday.
We will stay warm through the middle of next week. Another cold front arrives on Wednesday to bring rain and drop temperatures to more seasonal levels.
