Today will offer a brief respite from the heavy rainfall events that have been affecting the area lately. A cold front is currently moving through the state and until it clears the area, a slight chance of showers exists.

The front should push off the coast by this afternoon, ending the rain threat. Highs today will be in the low to mid 80s under eventual partly sunny skies.

High pressure builds in briefly this afternoon and tonight before the next rain maker begins to take aim on the area. The cold front that is currently pushing through will stall out to our south and remain stationary through Thursday.

For tomorrow, thunderstorms over the midwest may ride along the boundary and affect our area during the afternoon and evening. These storms could be severe with damaging winds, heavy rainfall and isolated tornadoes. Highs will be in the mid to upper 80s.

Tropical Storm Andrea will continue to move northeastward along a frontal boundary today and tonight, bringing heavy rainfall and scattered thunderstorms to the area. Highs today will be in the mid 70s.

Over an inch of rain has fallen across most of the state and another 2-3 inches with isolated spots over 4 are possible today and tonight. Consequently, a Flash Flood Watch is in effect for most of the state, east of the mountains through tonight.

Rain from Andrea will taper off around midnight tonight as the storm system races off to the northeast. Behind the system, warm, moist, tropical air will be left in place. This will set the stage for a muggy Saturday with scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Highs will be around 80 degrees.

Wet Weather on the Way
