Hazards also include a possibility for isolated wind gusts to reach sixty miles per hour.
There is a limited possibility that hail could develop, and the chance of a brief tornado cannot be ruled out.
Heavy rain will be a component for most of the area, with an inch or more anticipated before winding down Friday morning.
