Warmer air will build into the region through the end of the week, accompanied by increasing humidity and storm chances. At this time, storms are most favored Friday night through Saturday night, with a few strong to severe storms possible. Exact timing and location of the greatest chance of storms is still somewhat uncertain though, so if you have outdoor plans late this week, be sure to stay weather aware!
