The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Colton Cichoracki: Our team has issued a FOX 17 WEATHER READY ALERT into Saturday night due to the risk for strong thunderstorms. This comes after seeing several tornado reports in southern areas Friday afternoon. Overnight into early Saturday, another round of rain and storms is expected and some of these storms could be on the strong side. Gusty winds and hail would be the main threats but a quick spin up tornado cannot be ruled out. This rain ends early and we will dry out by afternoon. Temperatures will fall through the day from the 60s to the 40s by evening. Sunday is then quiet but still warm with highs in the 50s with a mostly sunny sky. There are indications that we cool down closer to seasonable levels by the middle of next week, so don't get used to the Spring weather quiet yet!
TONIGHT: Weather Ready Alert! Cloudy and warm with showers and storms by morning. Lows in the upper 50s. Winds south at 10 to 15 mph.
SATURDAY: Morning rain and thunderstorms likely, otherwise cloudy and unseasonably warm. Some early morning storms may be strong to severe. Highs in the low/mid 60s early, then gradually falling through the day. Most locations will see between .50" to one inch of rain, but locally higher amounts are possible.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Breezy. Highs in the mid 50s.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny and unseasonably warm. Highs in the mid 60s.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy and mild with a chance for rain showers. Highs in the upper 50s.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy with rain showers. Cooler too. Highs in the upper 40s.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs in the mid 40s.
FRIDAY: Chance rain and snow. Highs in the 40s.
