WEATHER with KNOE TV8 Chief Meteorologist Matt Posgai
We have widespread storms expected into early Thursday. Strong to severe storms are possible at any time. Main threats are hail and wind gusts, but we can’t rule out a brief tornado. Flooding is also possible given the multiple rounds of rain we’re expecting. After a cold front clears everything out late Wednesday into early Thursday, we’ll have a gradual warming trend going into this weekend and early next week.
