One storm system/cold front, with another one to come Saturday night. In between: a beautiful spring Saturday, with a one-day return to above average temperatures.
Storms Saturday night could produce large hail and damaging wind gusts, but the atmosphere won’t be packing the same punch it did late Thursday night and early Friday morning. Rain amounts should stay under a quarter of an inch.
Another nasty day in the Deep South Thursday, with two dozen tornado reports in Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia.
