Most days will start warm and dry, but as the day heats up, thunderstorms will likely form in the afternoon. Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons might see the most widespread showers and storms.

    Temperatures will be high, reaching the upper 80s to low 90s before the rain starts. At any point this week, a thunderstorm could turn severe, bringing damaging winds, hail, or heavy rains that could lead to flash flooding. Stay alert and keep an eye on the radar when you are outside.
