Today's Forecast

83°
62°

Summer warmth, humidity, and occasional rounds of strong to severe thunderstorms can be expected through this coming weekend into the beginning of next week. Aside from the chance of storms, there will still be plenty of time between rounds of stormy weather that we can enjoy sunshine and pool-worthy warmth. Our first chance for a little rain is with isolated showers and thunderstorms developing late today and through tonight. Thunderstorms will become a bit more common Thursday afternoon, followed by another round developing late Friday into Saturday morning.
