Perhaps there could be an isolated shower along the coast but the wet weather looks to hold on until the afternoon. 4 30 in the afternoon the system really getting its act together. Some light showers beginning to push on shore. But its really by 6 00, 7 00 at night the evening commute does look wet. Future weather showing you these yellows and even oranges isolated on your screen. Heres the chance that we could have a thundershower moving through the region. Any thundershower that pops up could contain lightning and hail and even by 11 00 at night were still tracking some isolated showers through the region. Futuretracker rainfall with this system as we get you into friday morning you can see about a quarter to 3 4 of an inch of rain is a good estimate. Where we do see a downpour set up we could see a little bit more than that, but most spots will fall into that range. So highs on your wednesday take the umbrella with you as you head out the door. Youre likely not going to need it first thing in the morning but you will need it into the afternoon and the evening as that rain moves through. Upper 50s to lower 60s will be your highs on your wednesday. Heres the accuweather sevenday forecast. Theres that chance of a thundershower tomorrow evening. Some on and off showers through thursday.
