According to CBS 2 meteorologist, due to the high moisture content, heavy downpours are possible. We also have the chance for a few skinny funnel clouds mainly south of I-80 until sunset.

This system will be overhead Friday, so the pattern stays the same. It does move away for the weekend as temperatures warm up.

Columbus Day is looking unsettled with scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms.
