All severe weather hazards will be possible for any storms we see this evening. A couple of tornadoes, ping-pong ball-sized hail and wind gusts up to 65 miles per hour will be possible in the strongest storms.
Many models have not handled the storms we are seeing this afternoon well, but here is one look at StormCast showing the chances for scattered showers and thunderstorms the rest of the evening.
Forecast:
We see a small chance for showers on Sunday but the majority of us are looking at another warm spring day ahead. Highs are expected in the 70s and 80s across the state.
We see a couple of warmer days to start the week before a small chance of rain on Wednesday. Warmer weather continues through the end of the week, followed by the chance for showers and thunderstorms heading into next weekend.
