Cloudy and overcast to start, becoming mostly sunny as the day progresses. Highs in the low 80s with a variable wind around 5 MPH throughout the day.

Looking ahead to this evening/overnight, there is a marginal risk for severe weather with the best chances coming between 11 PM and 4 AM, Saturday morning. Quarter-size hail and wind gusts up to 60 MPH are the main potential hazards. We will continue to update as the day moves along.
