A few showers, possible strong storms this Thursday evening

There's a marginal risk for a few strong storms through the evening hours as a weak front lingers near the coast. Main threats with any storms that develop would be heavy downpours, frequent lightning, hail up to quarter size and the threat for strong winds around 50-60 mph. Storm chance is around 20-30% and storms should fade by 10-11 pm. Warm but dry weather is expected Friday & Saturday before a stronger fall cold front brings decent rain chances and cooler air early next week. Tropical Storm Karl is tracking south towards SE Mexico with 45 mph winds and is expected to make landfall as a weak tropical storm in southern Mexico Friday night.
