• Quiet out the door this morning; just a frosty, cold start to the day.
• Another round of storms is expected to come our way later this afternoon.
• The timing right now for the worst weather will be just after 3 p.m. and is expected to last into the early evening.
• Flooding rain is not as much of a concern this time around, but the winds will be an issue.
• A wind advisory is in place across the metro for gusts over 40 mph, with thunderstorm gusts that could be even higher.
• There is a low risk for a brief tornado, but that threat is also lower than it was on Tuesday.
• However, this is all expected to clear out Friday night, and the weekend stays quiet.
• Sunshine and highs near 50 degrees both days before a big blast of cold comes our way next week.
• Highs are barely expected to reach the lower 40s by next Tuesday, with some light rain and mountain snow.
