Wednesday ramps back up with a high near 88°F, 62 percent storm chance, and southeast winds gusting to 20 mph — more rainfall in the 1–2 inch range is possible even after the Flood Watch expires.Looking ahead, Thursday's storm intensity drops to 37 percent but heat climbs to 93°F. The weekend offers the best break: Sunday looks mostly sunny with a high near 93°F. If you have outdoor plans, Sunday or Monday are your best windows.For today: keep an umbrella at the door, allow extra commute time, and stay off flooded roads.
