Scattered Afternoon Storms

Extensive cloud cover dominates the skies this morning, and a few showers and thunderstorms are actually occurring just to our south and east. These will push to the southeast through 8:00 a.m., but more showers and thunderstorms will likely develop later today. I don't think the coverage will be as great as yesterday since instability values will be much lower. However, we still have subtle upper level disturbances moving through flow aloft and the presence of a diffuse boundary at the surface. This should be just enough to get some scattered showers and thunderstorms to develop after 1 p.m. With mostly cloudy skies today, I think highs will top out near 86. Showers and thunderstorms should end by 9 p.m., but extensive cloud cover will remain in place tonight with lows dropping to near 68 tomorrow morning.
