Expect thunderstorms to bubble up this evening as a cold front approaches. While we aren’t looking at a major severe weather outbreak, a few storms could get a bit rowdy, bringing heavy downpours, small hail, and some pretty gusty winds. Officially, a storm is considered "severe" if it packs winds over 58 mph or one-inch hail; while we don't expect any tornadoes today, those winds will definitely whip up as the cold air clashes with the lingering heat.
Once that front arrives on Thursday, it is going to stall right over us and completely flip the weather script for a total temperature crash. We are going from near 100-degree "feels-like" temps straight down into the low-to-mid 60s starting Thursday and lasting straight through the weekend, so you will definitely want to keep a jacket handy. Unfortunately, the front is going to linger through Monday to keep things pretty unsettled.
Expect periods of showers on Thursday and Friday, followed by a total washout on Saturday, which looks like the worst day of the bunch with overcast skies, chilly air, and a steady light rain. Sunday and Monday won't be a total loss, but you will still have to dodge spotty, lingering showers both days.
