Some areas could see repeated downpours today. Look out for street and poor drainage flooding while it is actively raining.

Up Next: Thursday will bring along a strong cold front. Storms on Thursday will be capable of a heavy downpour, gusty winds, and frequent lightning. There is a level 1/5 marginal risk for severe storms.
