The strongest chance for showers and storms on Friday, May 29 will be in the afternoon into the evening. 

Expect multiple lines/rounds of storms, the National Weather Service said, noting that heavy downpours could cause flooding, especially in low-lying areas with poor drainage. 

The strong wind gusts could bring down trees and utility poles, causing power outages.

Cloud to ground lightning strikes will also accompany the storms.

Areas farther north and especially west are most at risk for the most severe storms. (See the first image above.)

The high temperature Friday will be near 80 degrees under cloudy skies.

Thunderstorm activity will wrap up by around 2 a.m. Saturday, May 30. That will be followed by showers that will taper off by noontime, with some breaks of sun in the afternoon.
