As outlined in a detailed look at the unfolding severe weather event, some of these storms could produce damaging winds, and it’s possible that these winds could be widespread. Lows are near or a bit above 70. Winds will be light and variable but turning to come from the north.
Tomorrow (Tuesday): Any showers and storms that will be around could be strong to severe through the midmorning or so, with showers remaining possible into the midday before tapering during the afternoon. We should see some clearing, and it will still be rather soupy. Highs will reach the mid-80s and perhaps upper 80s with enough sun.

Missing: 90s? Although few would complain, we’ve arguably had a slow start to 90-degree season. Today’s fourth of the year gets us back nearer the average of five for the date. Last year, we were zooming along, with seven 90-degree days to date. 1991 is the leader through June 13, with 16 90-degree days at this point.
