thunderstorms

Meteorologists said temps could hit the lower 80s — a record for this time of year — before giving way to thunderstorms and rain.

Meteorologists say a cold front will bring heavy wind gusts and possible hail, as well.

Expect windy rain, thunder, garbage gales, the whole bit.

Welcome to the thunderdome.

Today brings the possibility of gusty, hail-ridden thunderstorms, while the weekend portends an excellent beach day.

Last week's chilly temps have been replaced by unusually toasty conditions and even some sun this week.

We are in for our first significant rainfall in more than a couple of weeks.

With a high of 85 yesterday was the first day in almost two weeks to be warmer than average.

The wind and rain will keep the temperature to the upper 60s on Saturday.

The humidity will slowly drop to more tolerable levels early tomorrow morning once the trailing cold front arrives and the wind starts coming out of the west.
