Always check with your county for the latest information as more counties could get added to burn bans at any time and some counties take it day by day.

Isolated T-storms
Yes, there's a chance, but don't count on it!
A few isolated t-storms are possible Tuesday morning and again Wednesday. Not everyone will see them, but it is not impossible for a few storms to be out there. Consider yourself very lucky if you see rain!
As is typical anytime we get summertime thunderstorms, any storms could have strong wind gusts underneath them, but the overall severe threat is low.
