TONIGHT: Strong to severe storms surge ahead of an incoming cold front lasting throughout the first half of the night. Winds up to 70 mph, hail up to 1.5", and a low but not zero tornado chance remains possible tonight. Lows cool near 70 degrees.

TOMORROW: Friday welcomes partly cloudy skies with highs up to 90 degrees. A few isolated evening showers and storms remain possible Friday, but it looks to be very hit or miss with moderate short lived downpours possible.

EXTENDED: This weekend into the first half of next week sees dry and mostly sunny skies thanks to an incoming high pressure system. Highs cool into the mid to lower 80s.
