Risk of scattered severe thunderstorms tonight and Thursday

Storms will become isolated by Thursday afternoon, clearing for the weekend

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Tonight: Scattered Rain and Possible Strong to Severe Storms. Low 66.

Thursday: Morning Showers / Storms. Partly Cloudy. Afternoon Storms Possible. High 82. 

Friday: Partly Cloudy. Isolated Shower. Cooler. High 77.

Saturday: Partly Sunny. Cool. High 72.

Mother's Day: Partly Sunny. Nice Day. High 74.

WEATHER SUMMARY: 

The severe weather outlook for our area has been upgraded to a "Slight Risk" (Level 2) for today and tonight. An "Enhanced Risk" has been extended into parts of southwestern NC but does not include any Triad counties. The main trigger for storms after 3pm will be hot temperatures. While there will not be a high number of storms later today, all the heat energy will cause the storms to reach severe levels. Rain and storms will be on going tonight with a low of 65.

Our next system approaches the area Thursday afternoon but will not cross the Piedmont until Friday. It is still a bit unclear as to the number of severe storms we will have Thursday afternoon and Thursday night, but we are in the "Slight Risk" for that period. Damaging winds, hail, and even an isolated tornado can't be ruled out. It is possible that if rain moves in Thursday morning, this could limit the severe threat later in the day. This is not for certain, and we should be on guard for severe weather Thursday. The high will be 82.

With the cold front still to our west Friday morning, we will possibly see isolated showers for at least the first half of Friday. The weekend will be dry and cooler. High temperatures will be in the low-to-mid 70s with lows cooling to the upper 40's.

The normal low is 55, and the normal high is 76
