Something to note: the rain chances are scattered and will not impact everyone.
In fact, there will be more dry time than scattered downpours.
No severe weather is expected, but that doesn’t mean strong storms can’t be ruled out.
Strong winds, heavy rains, and frequent lightning would be the greatest threats.
Rainfall totals will amount to roughly 1 to 2 inches through Sunday, but isolated higher amounts are possible under heavier downpours.
