Wx Summary
Rain chances are lower today but any storm that does develop could be strong, with gusty winds and heavy rainfall. Storms with this system have also been capable of producing frequent cloud-to-ground lightning. Drier air works into the region on Wednesday, reducing rain chances even more and giving us our driest day of the week. By Thursday, a new frontal system begins approaching and that will increase rain and storm chances once again. Those elevated rain chances are expected to be with us through Saturday.
