Storms are back by the end of the week

Chances for showers and storms return by Thursday as a disturbance moves through cooling down temperatures. This threat of showers and storms will continue through Saturday with a few stronger storms possible, and more heavy rainfall, which means we could see more flooding over the weekend.
