 Active weather across the area today. Stay weather aware this afternoon. It is a tropical atmosphere. Not only are we under an excessive heat warning, but also now a severe thunderstorm watch. And that watch goes until 10 p.m. tonight, tracking weather up from the southwest. Storms moving southwest to northeast at around 30 or 40 miles per hour, capable of producing heavy rainfall, clouding around lightning, high wind. And that severe thunderstorm watch goes until 10 p.m. tonight, upper 90s. I'm meteorologist Scott Lauriamore at the Weather Channel for Talk Radio 680 WCBM.
