Soggy start Wednesday, more rain on the way

You may have been woken up by Mother Nature’s alarm clock this morning! Some thunder and lightning very early on, turning to showers and pockets of heavy rain into mid-morning. We’re not done with the rain yet either, as rounds of showers, downpours, and even a few thunderstorms are part of the forecast through Friday morning.

While the heaviest of Wednesday’s rain looks like it falls in the morning, we’ll still have some scattered showers, mist & drizzle into Wednesday afternoon. Highs will be in the upper 60s/low 70s– not far from average, but feeling like a raw, gray day.

Just after the clock strikes midnight and we turn to Thursday, our next round of rain begins. We’ll start with showers in the wee early hours of Thursday morning, but then turn to periods of heavy rain around the morning commute. We’ll have some breaks throughout the day on Thursday, but periods of rain and a few thunderstorms come back Thursday afternoon/evening. Thunderstorm activity appears limited, but is still something to be aware of as one or two could be relatively punchy with heavy rain and gusty winds. Highs on Thursday will be in the low to mid 70s.

Rain tapers off going into Friday. We’ll have a stray shower or two during the first half of the day especially, with a drier afternoon. Highs will be in the mid to upper 70s.

Although a stray shower is still possible Saturday, the day will be mostly dry with a mix of sun & clouds. Highs will stay in the mid to upper 70s. Sunday is nearly identical, but we take away the chance of a shower. Not a bad end to the weekend!
