Sunday Morning Update
The unsettled pattern we’ve been stuck in continues for the next few days.
There’s a chance we could see some showers and storms develop later in the afternoon and evening today, particularly to the east of I-81. The mountains will help influence rising air that could very well create some thunderstorms around the region. Any storm that develops could consist of some heavy rain and damaging winds.
Thunderstorm development continues throughout the week, varying in coverage each day
