and gusty winds to around 40 mph.

afternoon and evening, and a couple storms may become severe with
large hail and locally heavy rainfall the primary threats. The
weather pattern will remain active this weekend with daily chances
of showers and thunderstorms, although Saturday should see less
activity. A few of these storms may be strong and also produce
locally heavy rain.

Monday will likely see more widespread showers and thunderstorms
and also a greater threat of heavy rainfall. There will be an
increasing potential for flooding as well, so stay tuned to the
latest forecasts. Rain chances will continue through the middle of
next week, with the highest chances in and near the mountains.
