Marginal risk of strong storms today, Wednesday; sunny for BBQ On the River

We have a marginal (level 1 out of 5) severe weather chance across the region today, tonight and tomorrow. Things do not look particularly alarming but a few storms could produce hail or locally gusty winds. 

Each storm that gets going will also be producing heavy rain, and even some isolated local flash flooding may develop. 

Rainfall of 1 to 2 inches in some places will likely not be enough to end our drought conditions but should improve them at least a little. 

A front comes through Wednesday afternoon that should dry things out by Thursday.  Barbecue On the River looks to be sunny with highs in the low to mid 80s.
