A possible gusty storm around midnight tonight as the squall line moves through. Afternoon and evening showers and storms on Thursday. Moderate northerly winds.
BTW - the radar shot below - at 6:23pm CST that mentioned squall line isn't even showing - what your seeing there are the stormies popping up in front of it! :)
