High temperatures on Monday afternoon will surge into the 80s. The wind will be even stronger on Tuesday and prompt the second Impact Day of the week. South winds between 25 and 30 miles per hour will gust up to 50 miles per hour throughout Tuesday, which are strong enough to cause spotty power outages and minor tree damage. High temperatures will once again soar far above normal and into the 80s on Tuesday afternoon. Wednesday is our third and final Impact Day of the week. While it will be windy on Wednesday, the focus is on widespread rain and embedded thunderstorms. Rain chances will steadily increase Wednesday morning with widespread rain and embedded thunderstorms likely Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday night. Some thunderstorms during this time could produce damaging thunderstorm wind gusts and small hail. The lack of strong instability will keep the potential of a brief tornado to a minimum, but it's still best to just be prepared for the possibility of a brief tornado. Rainfall amounts between 0.5 inch and 1.0 inch will be common with the potential for up to 1.5 inches in some spots.</div></body>
