Update: T-storms still on the way

Don’t be fooled.

After the sun started to peek out from behind white fluffy clouds, we got several inquiries into this morning’s forecast.

So here's the update:

Alan Dunham, at the National Weather Service, says that an area of low pressure is headed our way. And though we’ll have partly sunny skies through the early afternoon, there’s also low pressure through the area.

“All that will work together to help trigger the storm,” Dunham said late this morning.

The temperatures have risen above this morning’s forecast, and should reach a high of about 80 degrees. That’s a few degrees warmer than the average temperature, 78 degrees, but nowhere near the record-breaking heat we experienced last week.

There’s still a chance of showers tonight, but things should clear up as the night goes on. Temperatures still expected to dip into the mid 50s.

And for tomorrow? More rain, maybe. There's a chance of isolated showers starting in the late morning, but things should clear up as the day goes on and temperatures will be a little warmer than today.

Watch the rain as it moves in via live radar on projo.com's weather page.
