METEOROLOGIST ERIC ZUANICH. THE STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS THAT WE HAD MOVED THROUGH EARLIER TODAY HAVE KIND OF MADE THEIR WAY OFF TO THE EAST, BUT WE’RE STILL GOING TO HAVE THE CHANCE FOR A LITTLE BIT OF SOME LIGHT RAIN WITH US THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. WE’RE NOT COMPLETELY DONE WITH THE RAIN, BUT AT LEAST THE STORMS ARE OVER. WE’RE LOOKING AT MOSTLY CLOUDY BUT COOLER CONDITIONS FOR OUR FRIDAY. YOU’RE DEFINITELY GOING TO WANT TO HAVE THE JACKET WITH YOU AS TEMPERATURES HOLD IN THE 50S.
