We're starting our softball season this afternoon and it only seems apropos that last night's storms serve as a precursor to more severe weather this afternoon and evening, so enjoy the respite while you can this morning. Highs are expected to reach the mid-80s before the rains come, possibly with hail. The National Weather Service has issued a hazardous weather outlook with some wind gusts this afternoon and evening reaching 60 mph and the storms will continue through Wednesday afternoon.
