Heavy Rain Possible

Sunday has the highest chance of isolated street flooding, the FOX26 viewing area is at a 2/4 risk. Some locations could pick up a quick 2-4″ in a short amount of time. There is no widespread severe risk at this time. When you see a flooded roadway, turn around. Don’t drown.
Lower Humidity on the Way
Rain chances will decrease beginning on Tuesday. With lower rain chances comes lower humidity. You can expect pleasant early morning temperatures midweek with some locations waking up to the upper-60s. Enjoy while it lasts.
The Tropics
A tropical wave is forecast to move off the west coast of Africa later on Monday and the National Hurricane Center is giving this area only a 30% chance to become a depression or tropical storm over the next 7 days. Don’t let your guard down as the peak of the hurricane season is less than 2 weeks away.
