Scattered strong thunderstorms are likely this afternoon and evening. A few storms may produce high winds and hail, but heavy rainfall will be the most likely weather threat today and tomorrow.

 

The heavy rain, especially falling over areas that already received heavy rain, may cause flooding. If you encounter standing or running water on a road, turn around. ("Turn Around, Don't Drown"). Most flash flood deaths occur when people attempt to drive through water covering a road.

The rest of this week will be in the mid to upper 80's with chances of rain while this weekend brings us back into the 90's and will be more dry.
