Tracking rain and storms… A stationary front is stalled out to our south but an area of low pressure will slide along the front today, throwing showers and storms to the north. Expect scattered showers and storms, starting around mid-morning and lasting through the afternoon. Some storms could be strong to severe with heavy downpours and gusty winds. Rain and storm chances will be higher to the south and lower to the north. Temperatures will remain comfortable with highs back to the mid 80s.
A few showers may linger for early Friday but the trend will be clearing skies. Highs will stay in the mid to upper 80s through the weekend with plenty of sunshine for both Saturday and Sunday.
