Hi, everyone. Happy Thursday, meteorologist Anthony Baglione here in the Wral Severe weather center, we have a pretty unsettled stretch of weather. The next couple of days we even started off our Thursday with a little bit of light rainfall across the area where we go from here though. Most of today, we are looking calm, I think as we get into tonight and then especially tomorrow afternoon and evening, we could see some shower activity across the board coverage though today is only about 20%. So the majority of us see a lot of dry time. We head into the weekend though Saturday, Sunday, those chances lie at 70% for both days. What it looks like at this point will occur is probably some dry time and then some more wet time if you will, some scattered showers and storms is what we're gonna go with. And then Monday does look like it's going to be calm. Let's walk through futurecast though. For us today. For the most part there, you can see it's a really nice calm day. We see some cloud cover hanging with us, maybe a quick shower as we get into this evening. Into tonight. It is not going to amount to much for us though out the door tomorrow morning, it's another dry start though or a dry start. We do have a little bit of light showers this morning, but we're dry tomorrow morning. We go through the day and then especially into tomorrow afternoon and the evening, we start to see some rain chances ramping up. And I think the best chance for that would be into tomorrow night. And then again, Saturday and Sunday looking also decently unsettled. So if you have Friday evening plans, the weekend plans just make sure to stay tuned to, to this forecast and potentially have a backup. If you can, we have this come out this morning. It's the severe risk from the storm prediction center. They put this out. They're based in Norman Oklahoma and they kind of look at the ingredients in the atmosphere, where could we potentially see some strong and severe storms and they're outlining a risk on Saturday for most of our viewing area at this point. It looks like maybe some gusty winds doesn't look like a huge severe risk, but we'll keep watching that as we get closer or maybe an inch and a half to two inches of rainfall over the next seven days. So that goes to show you we're into a weather pattern after today, highs are gonna hit right around 81 this afternoon. So it should be a pretty decent day. And we go to 83 tomorrow, 79 on Saturday only close to 70 maybe not getting out of the sixties there on Sunday with cloud cover and rain and then warming back up there into Wednesday of next week at 87.
