Once again the models are off with a prediction of 100° F by 3pm but that will likely not happen. We will probably be in the mid to upper 90s.
Most of the county today is under a nonsevere thunderstorm chance except for the NE corner of our county. That is under a marginal chance of severe thunderstorms.
New Storm Prediction Center forecasts now show we have a marginal chance of severe weather tomorrow (Thursday) and Friday.
