Good Friday everyone and welcome to the end of the week. We are about to end things on a rather stormy note as another surge of summer temps moves back in. Some of the storms today may be on the strong side.

A cold front will swing in from the northwest this afternoon and evening. Temps ahead of this front will head well into the 70s on a gusty southwesterly wind.

A few rounds of showers and thunderstorms will develop along and ahead of the front and there is the risk that some of these storms could go severe. Damaging winds and large hail look to be the main threats.

Here’s your Friday dose of severe weather tracking tools…

I am away at the Final Four and will try to update if I can. I will be using twitter to send out quick updates and information on any watches or warnings that come out.

Have a great Friday and take care.
