Discussion

It turns warmer today and temperatures should reach the low-to-mid 90’s on Friday afternoon to close out the work week. There is a cold front headed this way for passage on Friday night and it could produce a few strong-to-severe thunderstorms in the area from later tomorrow into early tomorrow night. The passage of the front is likely to set us up for a nice Father’s Day weekend with highs on both days in the 80’s…hot weather is on the way for next week and it could last for an extended period of time.
