The National Weather Service says severe weather is possible Tuesday with afternoon thunderstorms and strong winds. How severe these storms will be is dependent on an approaching cold front, but National Weather Service officials say we could be looking at the possibility of damaging winds, large hail and maybe even an isolated tornado.

Patch will keep you updated on the storm potential as the forecast updates.

Once we get past the stormy Tuesday afternoon, the sun comes back Wednesday for a couple days before the potential for rain showers again late Friday afternoon.

Here’s a look at this week’s forecast:

• Monday: Sunshine mixed with clouds and a high of 84. Monday night’s low will be 62.

• Tuesday: A mostly cloudy morning before thunderstorms, potentially severe, arrive in the area Tuesday afternoon with a high of 86. Tuesday night expect scattered thunderstorms before skies clear overnight with a low of 60.

• Wednesday: A mainly sunny day with a high of 83 degrees. Clear skies are on tap for Wednesday night with a low of 57.

• Thursday: Another sunny day is on tap for Thursday with a few afternoon clouds and a high of 81. There will be a few clouds from time to time Thursday night with a low of 56.

• Friday: Partly cloudy skies start the day Friday before occasional showers arrive in the afternoon with a high of 75. More showers expected Friday night before clearing with a low of 53.

Right now next weekend is looking like a repeat of the past weekend with a nice day on tap for Saturday and rain on Sunday.
