Scattered showers and storms are expected again today. Rain chances will increase through the afternoon with our highest storm chances tonight.
Expect mostly cloudy skies tonight with scattered showers and storms. Some storms could be strong to severe. Our biggest threat will be gusty winds and heavy downpours. Lows will return to the mid 70s overnight.
