Rising humidity and the return of showers and thunderstorms Wednesday. A round of morning showers before 10:00 a.m. may greatly impact the evening storm threat. If there is rapid clearing and some sun the severe threat will increase, lingering clouds and rain will decrease that threat. Timing for evening storms is between 6:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m.

The patter the rest of the week remains active with a chance of rain every day through Saturday. The next severe threat following Wednesday could come Saturday afternoon.

Tonight: Mostly clear, low of 56.

Wednesday: AM Shower / PM Storms, high of 78.

Thursday: Morning showers then partly cloudy, high of 68.

Friday: Scattered showers and storms, high of 74.
