The National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center has issued a "marginal" chance for severe thunderstorms for parts of Washington State and Oregon.

Parts of the state could see heavy rainstorms, winds 40-60 MPH, and some hail is also in the forecast.

While the rest of the state could see thunderstorms, Tri-Cities looks like it'll see summer-like temperatures with a high of 78 on Wednesday, a near record for the Columbia Basin.

If you are traveling, just be prepared for lots of rain on the west side of the state.
