Precipitation should be state-wide, but higher amounts in the southern areas of the state. Many areas will experience near 0.25 inches of precipitation (some models suggesting over an inch). A ridge moves through the region on Thursday bringing more precipitation as it is quickly followed by another upper air-through feature.

On Thursday, highs will range across the state from 70 to 80°F degrees with lows in the 50’s.
