Good morning! Radar will be quite active today. Showers and storms will become quite numerous especially by later on this afternoon and tonight. Like yesterday, some storms will be strong. There will be a few warnings here and there. Damaging wind gusts is the main threat. Locally heavy downpours. The rain chance continues on the high side Thursday. We will get a little break between disturbances on Friday, before scattered showers and storms return Saturday. The best news is, the 90+ degree heat is gone for the next several days. We’ll be in the 80’s each day. Here’s my brief forecast discussion.
