Chance of area showers improves later today

The chance for thunder increases with more widespread showers tonight.

Temps will be near 50 Thursday morning as showers and thunderstorms will continue to progress through the region.

"The timing of the rain will be random as these batches of rain may not cover all areas at any given time," Wirdzek said.

"A few thunderstorms are expected, which could have gusty winds, especially later on in the day," he said.
