Thursday AM Forecast: The risk for flooding continues
Could we see a repeat of yesterday?
THE FORECAST
Today & Tonight: Heavy downpours are in the forecast again today. Isolated locations could see 1-3 inches of rain in less than an hour. Rain rates are expected to be between 2-3 inches per hour. This can easily overwhelm the drainage system, and that is why there is a level 2/4 slight risk for heavy rain today. Keep your WBRZ WX App close by and keep your notifications turned on. Flood advisories or warnings will be issued if necessary. Storms will fizzle out as the sun goes down. With rain around, temperatures will max out in the upper 80s in the sunny spots. Temperatures overnight will be in the low 70s.
