Key Points – Thursday, August 24, 2017:
Synopsis: Good Thursday morning! Today we discuss the isolated to scattered shower and storm threat working east mainly across the northern tier of the forecast area as we head into the weekend (can’t rule out a few isolated strong storms) as well as some potential implications of tropical storm Harvey to the southeastern zone locations as we head into next week. If you have any questions please let us know, have a blessed day!
