Pinpoint Weather: Storm chances return on Friday

ROANOKE, Va. ( WFXR ) – Showers and thunderstorms will return to the region on Friday as a cold front moves in. Showers are more likely in the morning with storms holding off until the afternoon.

There is a level one, marginal risk, for severe thunderstorms Friday afternoon. It appears, right now, that the better potential for stronger storms will be further to the south, but a couple of storms producing hail and wind cannot be ruled out.

Temperatures will drop back to near-average levels for the weekend and first half of next week. Southside could see a few showers on Sunday. An area-wide chance for rain returns on Wednesday.
