| - | An isolated foggy start to the day today with partly cloudy skies as high temperatures reach the low to mid 60's this afternoon. A disturbance will move into the region late this afternoon bringing a chance for scattered high-based rain showers/isolated thunderstorms, with a better chance for rain showers this evening and through the overnight and into Wednesday morning. |
| - | Minimal precipitation is expected during the afternoon as high-based rain showers will mainly produce gusty winds with most precipitation struggling to reach the surface. An uptick in upper-level moisture this evening will bring a better chance for rain showers late with scattered off and on rain showers possible through the overnight and into Wednesday morning. With decent upper-level support through the overnight, can't completely rule out a few storms could strengthen enough to produce some lightning and bring some moderate rainfall to brief isolated heavy rainfall, although chances remain very low at this time. |
| - | Best chance for high-based rain/isolated thunderstorms will be from 3-8pm with off and on rain showers likely from 8pm through the overnight and into daybreak Wednesday. A better chance for meaningful rainfall after 8pm, however storm intensity will also decrease at this time as thunderstorm activity diminishes significantly after 8pm. Overnight lows will drop into the mid to upper 30's, resulting in a slight chance for mix/snow for higher elevations through the overnight and into daybreak Wednesday. |
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong thunderstorm is able to develop with the potential for moderate to brief heavy rainfall of 0.4-0.8" in 30-60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: This unsettled weather pattern remains over the region Wednesday bringing a continued chance for off and on rain showers throughout the day. Cooler daytime temperatures will help limit rainfall intensity throughout the day Wednesday with another chance for overnight precipitation and into early Thursday morning. A few lingering rain showers will be possible Thursday morning with conditions drying out throughout the day as high temperatures reach the low to mid 60's.
