An upper-level low pressure system combined with a weak cold front will produce scattered showers and thunderstorms today. Most of the precipitation will occur this afternoon. Keep in mind that the rain will be scattered meaning not everyone will get wet. The threat of severe weather is extremely low today but a few thunderstorms may still produce hail and gusty winds. Storm movement will be slow so heavy rain is also possible. Temperatures in the metro area will be 10 to 15 degrees cooler than yesterday with highs in the middle and upper 80s.
In the mountains, plan on scattered showers and storms with highs in the 70s and 80s.
The chance for showers and thunderstorms will continue through the evening. The precipitation should end prior to 10 p.m. Skies will remain mostly cloudy overnight with temperatures falling into the upper 50s and lower 60s by sunrise tomorrow.
