Scattered showers, storms expected Thursday

Darkhorse Press said scattered showers and storms are expected Thursday in the area it serves.

Such scattered storms typically move in and out of neighborhoods, meaning not everyone will see rain at the same time. Meteorologists note these storms can produce brief heavy downpours, lightning and gusty winds that may lead to localized street flooding and travel delays.

Residents are advised to monitor changing conditions through local forecasts and official sources, secure loose outdoor items and avoid driving through flooded roadways. Local emergency managers and weather services typically recommend staying indoors during lightning and seeking higher ground if flooding occurs.
