Wx Summary
Scattered showers and storms are expected as we get into the afternoon both today and tomorrow. Some of those storms could be severe, especially in the heat of the afternoon. Those rain chances taper off overnight. A cold front approaches on Friday and Saturday and that will increase our rain chances, even into the nights. Behind that cold front, Sunday is looking cooler, with only a chance for a shower or storm. Lower humidity is expected by the start of next week.
