FORECAST:

  • Another warm day ahead, with highs in the mid-80s under a partly sunny sky.

  • Clouds are expected to thicken up Friday morning as storms well out to our west dry up before they get here.

  • How much full sun we see this afternoon will dictate how much of a storm risk develops.

  • A few isolated storms could pop up heading into the evening, and there’s the potential for these to be strong with gusty winds and hail.

  • Overall, severe threats are low, but still something to watch.

  • The weekend starts out dry on Saturday as highs remain near 80 degrees, but Sunday still looks rainy and around 60 degrees.

  • A major temperature change could fire up a couple of storms as a cold front enters.

  • Temperatures are expected to barely reach the lower 60s Sunday afternoon with off-and-on light showers.
