Good evening. I'm meteorologist, Amy Wilmuth in the WRL severe weather center with a look at how much rain we've had over the last two days, we've had some pockets of heavy rain anywhere from an inch to close to 2 to 3 inches in a few spots, anywhere that you see in those pinks and reds. That's where we've had some pretty significant rainfall. It will be quieter overnight tonight. And as we head into mostly cloudy overnight tonight, it will be mild with low temperatures near 60 degrees. And then tomorrow, if you need to get outside and get some things done, you want to exercise outside. It should be a good day to do that. Temperatures will be in the low to mid sixties in the morning. It's mostly cloudy at lunchtime. We're at 73 and then later in the afternoon, high temperatures will climb up to 79. So overall pretty nice day on Thursday, we don't really have to worry about any severe storms. We only have a 20% chance for rain Friday. It's a 30% chance for a stray storm in the afternoon, but a better chance for rain Friday night. Into Saturday, a 60% chance for rain. Saturday, still a 50% chance Sunday and a 30% chance for some rain on Monday. A look at future casts as we head through the day on Friday. That's when our rain chances will start to go up mainly the second half of the day. But a couple of storms will be possible during the afternoon as well, but it will be dry in the morning. But once we get to the afternoon, some hit and miss storms possible, those will continue through the evening. And then overnight Friday into Saturday, we'll have another round of showers and storms arrive. So planning out your weekend, scattered storms are looking pretty likely for Saturday. Our high gets up to 79 on Sunday. We'll still have some scattered storms. It's about a 50% chance for storms otherwise, mostly cloudy with a high temperature of 77 degrees. So today was unsettled as we get into Thursday. It's quieter with a high of 79 a couple of spotty storms Friday afternoon and then a decent chance for rain Friday night into Saturday. Still some scattered storms Sunday, Monday. We'll have some light rain possible with a high of 77 and then it's dry Tuesday and Wednesday with highs in the low to mid eighties.
