Good morning, This email is a follow-up to yesterday afternoon's briefing. There are no significant changes to report, but we want to reiterate the potential for scattered strong to severe thunderstorms this afternoon. Thunderstorm chances between 1 PM and 9 PM. The main threats include damaging straight-line winds, heavy rainfall (which could lead to localized flash flooding), small hail, and frequent lightning. Lastly, today marks the peak of the heat and humidity. Temperatures are expected to become more comfortable heading into the weekend, with drier weather, outside of a brief shower on Sunday afternoon.
