Partly cloudy skies with high temperatures around 85° will be likely this afternoon. Moisture will be on the increase though thanks to a surface ridge to the east of the region. Still, a great day is on tap for the region!

A decaying cluster of storms to the west of the region may push boundaries into the area. Isolated afternoon storms may trigger along these boundaries, making for hit and miss storm chances. Notice the strong rain signal to the west in the image below.

The best location for severe weather at this time is to the south of the region, but that may change with later forecasts. Highs will once again top out in the mid 80s.
