Strong to severe thunderstorms are possible tonight with the potential for damaging wind gusts, localized flooding, hail, and isolated tornadoes.  Once the storms move out, skies will be mostly cloudy overnight with lows in the 70s.

Highs will drop into the low 80s on Saturday, closer to normal for this time of year. Expect partly cloudy skies with scattered showers/storms (30%). We will warm back to the mid and upper 80s on Sunday. Expect partly cloudy skies Sunday with another round of showers/storms (40%) as a cold front moves through.

Skies will clear early Monday with mostly sunny skies by Monday afternoon. Sunshine will continue for Tuesday. Highs will drop to the upper 70s early next week.
