Possible showers as severe weather approaches Friday afternoon

Travel may get implicated, both on the roads and in the skies today as folks head to Houston for game 6 of the World Series. Please be extremely careful if driving especially after dark. Isolated strong to severe storms may pop up locally this afternoon through early evening. Past 10 p.m. or so, the threat shifts to the potential for straight-line damaging winds as the line of storms rolls through. Power outages are likely, along with isolated wind damage and briefly heavy rain/frequent thunder and lightning. Tornado and hail threats are lower for us, but cannot be completely ruled out. After a rocky start to the weekend, the rest of it looks fantastic and we can look forward to celebrating a game 6 win with an extra hour of sleep Sunday morning! The majority of next week will be quiet, sunny, and dry with seasonably warm temperatures.
