Our high today is 84 degrees. Tonight, the strong storms diminish to showers for the overnight with a low of 67 degrees.
"This is really kind of the worst of it as this push of storm activity goes through, and then we're just into moderate rain," said Bowman. "But again, we caution you, this is falling on saturated ground so flooding issues will still be a part of the mix as we run through the balance of the evening."
Showers will end during the morning on Thursday with breaks in the clouds for the afternoon. Tomorrow's high will be 76 degrees.
"It is an overnight low of 67 tonight and we'll have showers diminishing on into the overnight period. Let's allow for a couple of morning sprinkles, and then a little bit of afternoon sun," said Bowman.
