Over 1 to 2 inches of rain is possible in these areas.

Friday is also an ABC 17 Stormtrack Weather Alert Day for the threat of strong to severe storms from 3 p.m. to midnight. Scattered storms develop in the midafternoon south of I-70, bringing the threat of damaging winds and flooding through the evening. Another inch of rain or more is possible.
