Rainy Wednesday: Storms Possible, but Mostly Gentle Showers

Morning rain will arrive just in time for the rush hour, bringing light showers that last until noon. The clouds are expected to bring only a few brief thunders, and the precipitation will stay mild, with totals between 0. 10 and 0. 50 inches. Later in the day, conditions change as a cold front moves through. How quickly the sky clears will decide whether another wave of rain turns into stronger storms. While a second bout of showers is likely, the chance for widespread powerful storms drops if the clouds linger.If sunshine breaks through between noon and 4 p. m. , there is a possibility that the afternoon rain could include one or two isolated strong storms. The main risks from those events are gusty winds, lightning strikes, and sudden heavy downpours that could hit the evening commute. By Thursday, clouds will stay in place, temperatures will hover in the 60‑degree range, and a few scattered showers may appear. The overall weather will be cooler and more overcast compared to the previous days.
