Eric says the rain will continue

Posted: Updated:

Once again we'll have to deal with a few rounds of scattered showers and storms this afternoon into the early evening hours.

I expect storms and rain to fire by early afternoon. This may keep temperatures down in a few areas and hold highs in to the 80s.

In areas that miss out on storms or where storms are delayed, highs will reach the lower 90s.

A few storms may be strong and produce gusty winds, otherwise heavy rain is the main threat.

Going into next week, high pressure will get stronger over our area. This will lower our rain chances to around 30% each afternoon next week. Our temperatures will also increase, with highs back into the middle 90s by Tuesday.
