Here’s what the First Alert Weather Team said you can expect for the First Alert Weather forecast for the rest of the week:

  • Very heavy thunderstorms will gradually wind down Wednesday evening, but not before producing localized flooding.
  • Skies become partly cloudy overnight with patchy fog.
  • Still some afternoon storms Thursday, but more widely scattered than Wednesday.
  • The fewer afternoon storms will continue Friday through the weekend, so temperatures will be hotter with afternoon highs in the 90s.
