Tracking severe storms… We will see multiple chances for rain and storms today. Round one will move through early this morning with pockets of heavy rain and possible thunderstorms. Rain will move out by mid-morning. Expect sunshine and a warm up into the 80s this afternoon. Round two will move in this evening with more heavy rain and possible severe thunderstorms.
