At this time it looks like some storms may become severe in the afternoon, high winds and hail appear to be the main threats at this time, heavy rain may also be a potential problem as a cold front moves slowly east.

Wednesday things clear out behind the front, it will be much less humid and not nearly as warm, we will also have breeze west winds, with mid 70s for highs, upper 50s for highs.
