The atmosphere is very unstable so afternoon showers and thunderstorms are likely today. Some will be severe and will likely produce damaging winds, hail, and isolated tornadoes. Stay tuned to weather outlets for watches and/or warnings this afternoon.
We will see more tranquil weather the next few days and then summer heat and humidity will return Thursday!
All for now!
