Severe storms possible for some later this afternoon and evening

Cloudy skies stick around through the day today as a system moves through the area. The northwestern corner of the area may end up being rather chilly today with highs struggling to make it into the 50s as a cold front moves through. The southeastern corner of the area may be able to make it into the upper 70s and low 80s before the front arrives. These areas also have a better chance for strong to severe storms later this afternoon with large hail and damaging wind gusts as the main threats.

The severe threat quickly diminishes around sunset as the colder air arrives, but we’ll likely see lingering showers overnight and into early tomorrow morning. That push of cold air could give the northwestern half of the area a chance for some snowflakes to mix in with rain very early Tuesday morning.

This leaves us a bit cooler for Tuesday with temperatures in the 50s with gusty winds through at least Wednesday. Highs for midweek try and rebound to near 60°. After this, warm air moves back in for the later part of the week. Temperatures climb back up into the lower to middle 70s by next weekend.

Another system moves in for the last half of the weekend though, with showers possible late Saturday and into Sunday. Hopefully, this system moves out for Monday’s solar eclipse, but as of right now, we may end up with some cloud cover.
