Storm Watch Team Meteorologist Allan Nosoff says to expect occasional thunderstorms with high winds throughout Thursday as the first part of a two-part storm.

NEXT: Showers blossom over the city for the Thursday morning commute. Expect a mainly cloudy sky with occasional rain on/off throughout the day. The worst of the storm will be Thursday night into Friday morning (After 10 p.m. - 3 a.m.) Heavy rain and gusty thunderstorms are likely. Isolated flooding for the most flood prone areas, strong gusts can knock down tree limbs/branches and blinding rain will bring hazardous road conditions. Friday won't be a washout, but clouds linger with scattered showers (heavy at times) and gusty winds throughout the day.

TONIGHT: Cloudy and cool. Showers hold off until after 5-6AM. Lows near 52.

TOMORROW - STORM WATCH PM: Showers for the morning commute, maybe an isolated downpour, but this will be fast-moving. Showers end by about 10AM. Temps slowly climb through the 50s up to 63 after sunset. Then rain & downpours arrive after 8PM, with strong-to-severe thunderstorms possible between 12 and 3AM. Temps hover near 62. Wind picks up with gusts of 40 mph likely, embedded gusts of 60 mph in some t-storms.

FRIDAY - STORM WATCH AM: Storms quickly clear by the AM commute, but a few isolated popcorn showers & downpours possible through the early afternoon. Still windy with 30-35 mph gusts. Highs near 67. Lows drop to 47.

SATURDAY: Mix of sun and clouds, chilly and still breezy. Highs near 60, feeling colder with 20-25 mph gusts. Lows near 49.

SUNDAY: Sun to clouds. A few showers possible late. Warmer, with highs up to 66. Lows near 55.

EARLY NEXT WEEK: A good chance to feel like early summer again! Depending on the position of a backdoor cold front, we should be on the warmer side of it. Highs likely in the 70s, with 80s not too far behind. Lows in the mid 50s.
