Although it’s overcast right now, later today we should see mostly sunny skies with highs in the mid 60s. Things will change tomorrow night when we have a good chance of some rain and possibly a thunderstorm or two. A front will stall out north of us and the thunderstorm potential will increase on Tuesday and Wednesday. The rains on Monday could be heavy at times. Forecasts indicate that up to 2″ of rain will fall on Monday and Tuesday. I don’t see the weather pattern shaping up for storms that’ll produce a tornado outbreak, but heavy rain and hail are certainly possible.
