There are then going to be scattered rain showers and thunderstorms around on Friday, especially in locations east of I-15, as a cold front passes through our area. A few of the thunderstorms that develop on Friday may also be strong to severe with damaging wind gusts, large hail, frequent lightning, and/or heavy rainfall. This cold front is also going to provide us with cooler temperatures and breezy conditions on Friday as highs are going to be in the mid to upper 60s and low 70s in most locations, and sustained wind speeds are going to be between 10 and 25 mph. Decreasing haze is also expected throughout the day on Friday as the wind direction shifts to the NW behind the cold front.
