Scattered showers and storms this afternoon and evening
Warm and humid air continues to build into the region, setting the stage and allowing for scattered showers and thunderstorms to develop this afternoon. Skies are expected to clear this afternoon, allowing temperatures to warm to near 80 and enhancing the instability in the atmosphere.
It appears that there will be enough instability for some of these storms to become severe, with damaging winds and hail.
