Wednesday will bring the best chances for rain and storms of the week. While the afternoon has the best chances for thunderstorms, it could be a rainy day all day for some of us, especially in the central part of the state.

We’re not expecting widespread severe weather, but a storm or two could be on the strong side. The biggest threats are heavy rain, strong winds, and hail.

Thursday looks to be another day of the same soggy pattern, but we should go back to the normal summertime heat, humidity, and isolated afternoon storms by Friday or Saturday through the weekend.

The tropics remain quiet with no development expected in the Atlantic for the next 48 hours.
