After an active day of storms Tuesday, we have had a quieter start to Wednesday. However, that may not last long. Another round of showers and storms is possible this afternoon, starting between 5 and 6 p.m. This chance will continue through midnight into the early hours of Thursday and does present a chance at a few strong, possibly severe, storms.

The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has our area in a "marginal risk" for severe storms, a low-end threat for all forms of severe weather.

We will see those spotty storms last until around 2 a.m. and then we will dry out. However, skies across the area stay mostly cloudy, with a low of 62° as it remains muggy.

The risk for severe storms increases a bit for Thursday and because of that, the SPC has our area in a "slight risk" for severe storms. That is level 2 out of 5. This includes the risk of damaging wind gusts, hail, and tornadoes. But again, damaging winds is the main concern. Our best chance for storms will be in the afternoon and evening hours, but before these get here we will deal with some strong southwest winds at 20 to 30 mph. Highs will be warm once again, climbing to 78°.

Rain will continue into Friday along with the clouds. It looks like we will have some scattered showers for much of the day. Friday stays seasonal, with a high of 70. Unfortunately, the latest trends show the best rain chances lasting into the middle of Saturday, with highs into the 60s. That does mean it could be a wet start to the day for the 5k and 10k runners.

At this point, Sunday looks pristine for those running the Flying Pig Marathon & Half Marathon! Temperatures will be int the low 40s as the gun goes off and we should see sunshine and low humidity!
