There should be plenty of sunshine to start today, with afternoon highs 60 to 70, but clouds will increase heading into sunset with chances for showers and thunderstorms back in the forecast starting later this evening and overnight.

A few of these storms may be strong to severe west with strong wind and hail. The thunderstorm potential will increase later Wednesday however, with thunderstorms likely late Wednesday into early Thursday morning.

Some of these storms may be severe with damaging wind, large hail, and locally heavy rains. Isolated locations could receive 1-2+” by Thursday. A few tornadoes cannot be ruled out, but wind and hail are the greater threats.

Lows tonight should be in the 40s northeast to 50s southeast, with highs Wednesday from the middle 60s to middle 70s.
