Discussion
The combination of a back door cool front stalled to our northeast 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 rainfall and small hail. Temperatures climb towards the 85 degree mark this afternoon and will be confined to near 80 degrees on Wednesday and Thursday.
