Moderate to heavy rain of 1 to 2 inches is expected Tuesday night, according to 7News Chief Meteorologist Veronica Johnson.
Temperatures will drop into the 70s at night as “the ground, the roads absorb a lot of water in a short period of time,” Johnson said.
More rain is expected this week, but we'll see similar conditions on Wednesday.
Wednesday will be cloudy with lingering showers and mist in the morning, with highs around 90 degrees.
Johnson said “more severe weather is expected” on Wednesday night, with the possibility of another isolated storm late Wednesday night.
“The threat of locally heavy rain is possible again on Wednesday, primarily in all urban areas,” the National Weather Service predicts.
