Wednesday

A chance for showers and a few isolated storms exists as an upper level system swings through the region.  It seems like the best chances will be just to our east but we can’t rule out a few stray showers that could pop up mainly between 2 and 8 PM.

Nothing widespread, but it will be necessary to keep an eye to the sky if you have outdoor plans this afternoon and early this evening read more
