A few non-severe thunderstorms will be possible across areas mainly west of Highway 281 through around 10 AM this morning. Later this afternoon, daytime heating may induce a couple thunderstorms just about anywhere across the local area, although coverage should be very limited. For tonight, an approaching disturbance will bring a better chance for more widespread shower and thunderstorm activity across the area. A few of these storms could be on the strong to marginally severe side, with hail to the size of quarters and 60 MPH wind gusts possible with the strongest storms. Finally, with temperatures forecast to climb into the 90s along with dewpoints in the 70s, heat index values this afternoon will likely top 100 degrees in spots. While this will be slightly cooler than the last couple of afternoons, it will still be uncomfortably hot for many. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday. Heat index values will again climb to near 100 degrees during the afternoon hours both Monday and Tuesday. There will be a chance for Thunderstorms across the area both Monday and Tuesday, focused mainly during the evening and overnight hours each day. A few of these storms will be on the strong to marginally severe side, with hail to the size of quarters and 60 MPH wind gusts possible with the strongest storms. Additional thunderstorm chances are anticipated with a cold front on Friday. At this point, it remains too early to accurately assess the severe weather potential late in the week. && More information may be obtained at the following web page: https://www.weather.gov/hastings $$ Rossi
