Showers and thunderstorms will become more numerous during the course of Friday. The thunderstorms will be capable of producing intense rainfall, and localized areas of street flooding are likely. There is some concern that one or more bands of showers and thunderstorms could produce localized flash flooding especially if any such bands should set up over an urban area.

There is also a slight risk that a few thunderstorms could become severe and produce damaging wind gusts Friday afternoon and evening.
