Discussion

The combination of a back door cool front stalled over the region and a weakening cold front approaching from our west will increase the chances for showers and thunderstorms from late today into Wednesday. Any thunderstorm that forms can be on the strong side with brief heavy rain and small hail. Temperatures climb towards the 80 degree mark this afternoon and will be confined to the 70’s on Wednesday and Thursday.
