It's a very wet morning as scattered storms and showers roll through the area. These storms have the potential to contain heavy downpours with lightning. They also could turn severe, so small hail and gusty winds could occur.

This is why we have a severe thunderstorm watch in place through 11 a.m. this morning for most of our western counties. The rain will take up most of the morning hours, but it will start to clear out already by the afternoon.  

A huge sigh of relief arrives tonight as a cold front will push through tonight.

Our new work week will be a welcome treat with blue, sunny skies with highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s with comfortable dewpoints! 

Our next storm system is set to arrive later in the day on Thursday and last into Friday.
