For the first part of Thursday expect a few showers. Heavy rain and the chance for strong storms will likely come from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m.
We will see most of the storms move from west to east, reaching the coast by the late afternoon.
Some storms could be strong, with gusty winds, lightning and heavy rain. We cannot rule out the possibility of one or two tornadoes later in the afternoon, but the threat is very low.
