There's a 70% chance of rain and storms and they could come with hail or damaging winds, the National Weather Service says.

Highs will be in the mid- to upper 70s, but temps will fall to around 60° by sunset amid a cooler, drier northwest wind. Keep a warmer layer handy.

Gusts of 40 mph or higher will be possible during the afternoon and overnight.

By Thursday morning, temperatures will fall into the 40s and highs will be in the 60s, even with mostly sunny skies.

Friday will remain cool, and midday showers are likely.
