Justin Liles: Scattered showers & storms tonight

After a day of warmer than average temperatures, some light rain will develop into scattered thunderstorms tonight. Here’s the latest look at the potential for showers and storms this evening into tonight. A line of showers and thunderstorms will slowly sweep from west to east along a cold front. A storm or two may become strong too severe from this evening into early tomorrow morning.

Possible hazards associated with any severe storms that develop will be damaging winds up to 60 MPH and large hail up to 1”. Winds could become rather gusty too. Following the cold front, much cooler temperatures will move into the Northland on Friday and continue through the weekend.
