Synopsis:
The heat wave has come to an end. An area of low pressure moving through the region this morning will cause periods of rain and possibly a thunderstorm. The rain maybe heavy at times by the coast. The rain will taper off from West to East during the mid-day hours. The good news here is that the torrential rain that could of caused significant flooding doesn’t look to be materializing. Local roadway flooding is possible this morning where the heaviest rain falls but widespread flooding is not expected. In fact, the sun will return for the second half of the day-FutureCast cloud cover and radar shows clearing skies (map above).
The weekend forecast will be hit or miss with showers and storms as another low pressure system moves in. It will not be a washout.
