Warm and active weather will continue through mid week. An isolated strong storm cannot be ruled out far south today, but the primary threat is scattered severe thunderstorms, especially late Wednesday afternoon and evening. Late week will be milder but breezy.
Severe storms are possible Wednesday late afternoon and evening, primarily in the 5 PM to 2 AM time frame. All hazards are possible, but damaging winds and tornadoes are the primary threats. Be prepared for dangerous storms Wednesday afternoon and evening, and be ready to take action if and when warnings are issued.
