A little sunshine goes a long way this afternoon. This will allow for temperatures to climb into the low 80s. If this occurs, there will be enough energy for scattered stornger storms afer 3 PM until roughly 9 PM this evening.
This round of rain and storms will be associated with the cold front. The front will pass through the Valley, but lift back north and stall allowing for more rain through the weekend.
