- Periodic showers and thunderstorms expected to continue this week with a persistent summertime pattern.
- Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected to form throughout the morning hours, continuing off and on into Wednesday evening.
- Locally heavy rainfall is looking unlikely given quicker storm motions.
- Severe weather is also unlikely today and Wednesday.
***We will likely see a break from the rain Wednesday evening into Thursday, but the pattern looks to favor additional showers/storms into the weekend as another cold front sags southwards.***

Preparedness starts long before a storm is in the forecast. Having insurance is one of the most important tools to protect your home. After Hurricane Helene, over 1.49M survivors applied for FEMA assistance, highlighting the significant recovery needs disasters can create. Because flood insurance requires a 30-day waiting period, you should start the process now by visiting: floodsmart.gov/
