Severe Weather Outlook Today

Several rounds of storms will be possible across the next few days including a few strong to severe storms Tuesday morning to afternoon. The next rounds of storms this week should mainly come during the evening to overnight period Wednesday (40-70% chances) as well as during the day on Thursday (30-60% chances). Details regarding location or coverage of these storms remain more limited for now due to lower confidence. Otherwise, an extensive period of mostly cloudy skies will help keep highs mainly in the upper 60s to low 80s through Friday.

A marginal (level 1 of 5) to slight (level 2 of 5) risk of severe weather is possible Today across the local area. A cluster of storms will begin to impact the local area early this morning, with the best chance for a few severe storms expected during the late morning through early afternoon hours. Hail to the size of Half Dollars and wind gusts to near 70 MPH will be possible with the strongest storms.
