Slight chance of showers, thunderstorms for the weekend

Chances for showers and thunderstorms have ramped up a bit west of the Mississppi River tonight, and will continue into the weekend, according to the National Weather Service.

Meteorologists are monitoring the potential for a few severe thunderstorms this evening, mainly near and west of the Mississippi River. The main threats look to be damaging wind gusts, possibly a brief tornado, and locally heavy rain. 

On Saturday afternoon, a small chance of some storm activity could occur well east of the lakes toward central Kentucky.

Daily chances of mainly afternoon showers and thunderstorms may continue Sunday into the middle of next week.

After a high near 90 on Friday, temperatures will slide a bit to 86 on Saturday and 83 on Sunday. A gradual warming trend is expected next week.
