After record warmth Wednesday, First Alert Weather is on a SEVERE ALERT Thursday afternoon and early evening for the potential for strong to severe storms. Some storms may bring gusty winds, hail and lightning.
Ahead of the cold front, expect a warm and muggy morning with some peeks of sunshine. Temperatures will rise into the low 80s by early Thursday afternoon. The heat and humidity, combined with the approaching front, will trigger scattered showers and storms between 2-7 p.m. Expect a wide range of rainfall totals depending on where some of the heavier pockets of rain develop. Also expect anywhere from .10 to over a half inch in some neighborhoods.
