FORECAST DISCUSSION:
Happy Tuesday!
We start the day off on a dry note, with temperatures warming into the upper 70s by this afternoon. We'll then see scattered showers and thunderstorms moving in from about mid-afternoon through the evening. The primary timeframe we'll be watching for strong to severe storms will be between about 3 PM and midnight, with the threat looking to maximize between about 6 PM and midnight.

The Storm Prediction Center has much of our area under a 3-out-of-5 risk for severe storms, with damaging winds and large hail being the primary threats, but a few tornadoes cannot be ruled out.
That storm activity tapers overnight, then we'll be dry most of the daytime hours Wednesday, with highs in the lower 80s. More storms then move in Wednesday evening and overnight into Thursday morning, when we'll once again be looking at a severe weather threat. This time, however, the threat is a bit lower, mainly due to the timing of the system arriving.

This time the SPC has southern parts of our area under a 2-out-of-5 risk for severe storms.
Showers will linger into Thursday morning, before becoming lighter, and a bit more spotty in nature into the afternoon. Highs drop back to the middle 70s with a strong breeze.
By Friday, we're looking at just isolated shower activity, with highs falling back to the lower 60s.
We'll be looking at some spotty shower activity into the start of the weekend, but it does not appear to be a washout. Highs top out in the upper 60s both weekend days.
