Thunderstorms are possible with increasing rain chances later today and tonight. Heavy rainfall will be the primary storm related hazard through the period.

DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday

The most potent chance for heavy rain comes with showers and storms Friday afternoon and early evening. The moisture from Tropical Storm Cindy will combine with an approaching cold front to peak this heavy rain chance and the potential for flooding.
