What We’re Tracking

• Partly cloudy most of Wednesday
• Strong storms possible in the evening hours
• Late weekend turns a bit cooler

We'll notice cooler temperatures in the lower 40s to start with Wednesday morning behind a cold front, but the wind will again be from the south for the afternoon. So highs will likely make it back up into the middle to upper 70s ahead of our next chance for storms. That looks to arrive by late Wednesday evening and into early Thursday morning.

There may be a couple strong or even severe storms with Wednesday's system as a warm front lifts through the area. The best chance to see the stronger storms will be dependent on the timing of that front, and as of right now, the best chance for storms may end up being in the northern half of our area, mainly along and north of I-70. The main threats with any storms will be large hail and gusty winds, but an isolated tornado can't quite be ruled out yet. Make sure to keep checking back for updates.

Behind that system, we do get a bit cooler to end the week and start the weekend. Highs for Thursday should still reach the 70s, but by Friday temperatures will likely drop into the lower 60s. After topping out in the middle to upper 60s on Saturday, another system tries to move in for the tail end of the weekend that will drop temperatures even further into the middle 50s for Sunday.
