Weather Hazards
Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop across the mountains this afternoon and move east across the area into the early evening. Any of these thunderstorms will have the potential to produce frequent cloud to ground lightning, heavy rainfall, and gusty winds. A few of these thunderstorms could become severe, with damaging wind gusts the main threat.
**Note** A Tropical Weather Outlook section has been added to the daily weather briefing for the Atlantic Hurricane Season, and since those tend to run long when there is activity, that section has been added between the daily forecasts for the four regions of the county and the almanac section so people can get to their daily forecasts with minimal interference.
