INCREASING CLOUDS. THROUGH THE DAYTIME HOURS...AT LEAST SLIGHT
CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXIST FOR THE ENTIRE
AREA...WITH OVERALL BETTER CHANCES FOR MORE WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORMS
SPREADING IN FROM WEST TO EAST OVERNIGHT. A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS

TONIGHT. HIGH TEMPERATURES THIS AFTERNOON ARE FORECAST TO TOP OUT
BETWEEN 68 AND 73 DEGREES ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA...AND IT WILL BE
BREEZY WITH SOUTHERLY WINDS AVERAGING 15 TO 25 MPH. LOOKING AT THE

INCREASING CHANCES FOR PARTS OF THE AREA TO EXPERIENCE SEVERE STORMS
