After a pleasant and comfortable Friday, some scattered thunderstorms may return Saturday. Winds will gradually turn to come back out of the Southwest for Saturday, with some gusts pushing 25-30 mph at times.
That Southwest direction will draw in moisture return, with dew points rising back through the 60s. That increase in moisture will be met by an incoming cold front, producing some scattered showers and a few thunderstorms. We may end up dry through mid-day, but chances for rain will creep up through the afternoon.
A few of these storms may be able to perk up and produce gusty winds and small hail. While the storms will not be very widespread, any storms that track over recently rain-soaked locations may pose a slim risk for some flash flooding. Any risk for strong storms will decrease after 10-11PM. A few showers may linger into the early half of the night, but in lesser coverage. Conditions will dry out by daybreak Sunday morning.
A few of the storms Saturday afternoon and evening may be able to reach severe limits. Much of the Stateline is under a Level 1/5 Marginal risk, indicating only a few isolated storms may reach severe limits. Southwestern parts of the Stateline, including Savanna and Sterling, are under a Level 2/5 Slight risk with slightly higher confidence on storm coverage. Our threats will only be with wind and hail, tornadoes are not a concern locally. The environment is not nearly as volatile as it was Wednesday or Thursday.
