Thursday

Our unsettled trend continues, with rainfall chances in the morning, followed by thunderstorm chances in the afternoon. Overall chances look to hold around 50 percent. Some flooding will continue to a be a concern for this week, and it is important to remember general flooding rules. NEVER drive through a flooded roadway, it usually does not end well. As the National Weather Service emphasizes: turn around, don’t drown.

Friday

Thursday’s High Temperatures (Pivotal Weather)

Things look to calm down a bit by Friday, with rain chances dropping to around 30 percent. These chances will be confined mostly to the afternoon. Temperatures look to be around 75 degrees for highs. This will hopefully give some of the area a day to dry out from all of this rain. We will wait and see how the forecast turns out, and of course we will be right here to update you all! As for the weekend… we will dive into that forecast later this week!
