Reed might not have to go far to chase. KGSP says:

DAY ONE...Tonight.
Isolated thunderstorms are possible this evening. Thunderstorms could
return from the northwest during the overnight hours. Cloud-to-ground
lightning strikes and briefly gusty winds will be the main threats.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday.
Strong to severe thunderstorms could develop across the area on
Saturday. Thunderstorms may arrive from the northwest just about
anytime on Saturday, but the strongest thunderstorms will likely
occur during the afternoon and evening hours. Damaging winds will be
the main threat, but large hail is also possible.

Strong high pressure will create hot temperatures over the weekend.
High temperatures in the lower to middle 90s, with humid conditions
in place, will likely produce heat index values of 100 to 105 on
Saturday and Sunday afternoons, especially along and southeast of
the I-85 corridor.

Not untypical for our summers here but usually not this early with this kind of heat. I hope it doesn't become a regular pattern.
