The greatest threat is damaging winds, and the storms are expected from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Planning your Saturday
While there will be dry time, it's best to get out in the early morning as rain moves into the area, followed by late afternoon storms. Have your backup plans if you're hosting an outdoor event on Saturday.
