A couple strong storms possible this evening

Jared Smith / April 10, 2021 at 9:44 AM

We’re starting out partly cloudy this morning with temperatures approaching, if not surpassing, 70° at most spots as of 10am. A fair bit of today should remain dry, but we will be watching to our west as a cluster of thunderstorms approaches the area. It will be weakening by the time it gets here, but a strong storm or two can’t be ruled out this evening. Stay weather-aware and remember, all thunderstorms, regardless of whether they are classified as severe or not, are dangerous. When thunder roars, go indoors!
