Partly to mostly cloudy skies with a chance for showers this morning then showers and storms more likely after lunchtime and into the evening with our cold front. Highs in the lower-mid 80s. Our cold front is on the way and will pass through the area later tonight. Ahead of the front today we will see an increase in shower and storm activity especially this afternoon and evening with the heating of the day. We are not anticipating a severe storm outbreak but we cannot rule out an isolated strong to severe storm with gusty winds and some small hail.
