Storm Chances Build Through Wednesday Night
Showers are forecast during Wednesday, and an isolated strong to severe storm cannot be ruled out later Wednesday into Wednesday night. Winds will stay light from the east-southeast at around 5 to 6 mph, but the National Weather Service says an isolated strong to severe storm cannot be ruled out later Wednesday into Wednesday night. No watches, warnings or advisories are listed in the latest forecast.
Localized flooding is also a concern if downpours linger over the same areas, particularly near the foothills and Escarpment, though forecasters describe the risk as isolated. Visibility restrictions are possible with the evening shower band, and low stratus may linger into early Thursday.
