The next few days all contain at least a small chance for light to moderate rain showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon and evenings, with all storms expected to stay sub-severe. Winds will stay out of the northwest, with gusts 20-30 in the afternoons. Only change from this could be friday evening where wind directions could shift with a passing, weak surface low, though luckily staying relatively light when this occurs. Recent and upcoming rain potential will help afternoon humidities stay above 25%.
