1- We are in a GENERAL RISK for thunderstorms today. We missed them overnight but MIGHT see some this morning. You’ll notice winds out of the north and temps today will be in the 80’s. IF storms make it here, expect heavy rainfall, lightning & thunder, and gusty winds. We don’t expect severe weather but as always, it could occur due to winds and possibly hail.
