The chances for thunderstorms in Pima County were slim this morning, but by the looks of it, we might get some rain after all.
The National Weather Service predicts that thunderstorms will develop further into the afternoon and evening. A significant weather advisory was also put in place for northeastern and east central areas in Pima County.
The service also said that the scattered storms have the potential to be strong, with heavy winds and medium-size hail.
Tucson police spokesman Sgt. Pete Dugan can attest to that. He's already getting some hail in the Vail area. The hail is so big that the ground looks like it's snowing — only in our wildest dreams, though.
Large hail & rain right now out in my neck of the woods

If you happen to be in a rainy area, always remember to take precautions, especially when it comes to giant-sized hail.
Beyond the cloudy skies and potential rainfall, expected temperatures are close to the hundreds again — but they'll be even higher next week.
High: 99
