High bust potential for today's stormy forecast

Two fronts pass today, but morning clouds could limit the atmosphere's potential for damaging thunderstorms this afternoon. Be weather aware regardless!

There is a risk for storms today, but the bust potential is high. We are watching morning showers that taper to a cloudy sky and windy south wind. The gusts today can be strong up to 30-40mph as hot temperatures and humidity come into the state. The front passes sometime this early afternoon into the evening, and a storm can form as it passes through.

With an isolated storm chance, most locations would probably stay dry, but any storms that do form would and could be strong enough to make damaging wind. This is going to be hard to trigger due to lingering morning clouds and rain from the morning that ultimately removes some of the atmospheric energy. Highs near 90 today with high humidity.

Regardless, the weather will improve tomorrow, and it will turn quieter. There will be a mix of sun and clouds, and temps in the 80s for Friday. Saturday and Sunday look great with a mostly sunny sky and highs in the mid-80s.
