The National Weather Service said the damaging wind gusts and isolated tornadoes are the primary concern.

Either way, some heavy downpours will deliver some much-needed rainfall across the area.

Rain totals by Friday could average around 2 inches, with locally higher amounts. Right now, flooding looks unlikely, but ponding is possible on some roadways.

Weekend forecast

Unfortunately, this front will stall offshore for the weekend. As a result, clouds and shower chances will stick around for Saturday and Sunday. Right now, though, the heaviest of the rain looks to stay to our south and east.
