The area is under a Slight Risk for severe weather overnight Friday into Saturday morning. The stronger storms look to be to our west. The line of storms should weaken as it overspreads the region early Saturday morning but damaging winds, heavy rain and low-end chance for spin-up tornadoes are still a possibility. We will get a break in the rain late Saturday morning before a second round of showers and storms moves in late afternoon into the evening.
