Here's what the radar looked like just before 12:30am Wednesday.

There's a slight chance we could continue to see some elevated moisture and warm seasonal temperatures driving the instability that's been triggering some of these storms Wednesday, but drier air is on the way late week.

A ridge of high pressure moves in Thursday and we'll see drier and warmer conditions. Daytime highs continue to climb late week and into the weekend, peaking around 110° Sunday & Monday.
