Video Summary
AI GeneratedRain and potential thunderstorms are expected overnight through early Thursday morning, with the heaviest rain likely ending by 7:00 AM. While Thursday afternoon will be dry and warm, isolated showers may return in the evening. The remainder of the Labor Day weekend is expected to be mostly dry and pleasant.
How cute? How can you not?
Yeah, adorable. You need the
doggie raincoat tomorrow morning.
Yeah, it's going to be a wet start.
Yeah, heading off to school now.
As most kids now back into the classroom,
it's going to just be an overnight
where we have some rounds of rain,
some of which could be heavy.
The good news is the bulk of this is done
with before around 7 o'clock in the morning.
But if you are heading to the bus stop before,
then yeah, you're certainly
going to want that rain gear.
So until around 7 o'clock
in the morning on Thursday,
it's not pouring the whole time,
but there will be some scattered rain and
even the chance for a quick thunderstorm.
That could be briefly heavy,
so if you have any overnight
traveling to do that can briefly
drop some low visibility to make
for slower travel and also could
wake you up in the middle of the night too.
So if you wake up just hearing
some briefly heavy rain,
just don't be shocked to to get that
because that is a possibility from
right now and through around 7 o'clock
in the morning on Thursday.
A spotty shower downpour is going
to be possible in the evening
hours again on Thursday,
but keep the outdoor plans for
the rest of the day.
So here is the Stormwatch feature
cast here through around 5 o'clock.
In the morning,
looking at that chance for some
briefly moderate to heavy rain
by 6 or 7 in the morning,
there's not much of that heavier
rain left at that point,
but there still will be a few hit or miss.
Showers can't rule out an isolated
downpour through around mid morning,
and then it gets drier late morning
and through the most of the afternoon,
with even some breaks of some sunshine.
But then into the evening,
just have to watch that chance for
another pop up shower or isolated
downpour so periods of scattered
rain overnight, a thunderstorm
possible through early Thursday morning.
Midday on Thursday is fine,
very warm and humid upper 70s to mid 80s,
and then we'll have a renewed chance
for very just isolated pop up
downpour in the evening.
Friday, Saturday, far from washouts,
mostly dry, but a pop up shower
can't be ruled out the rest of Labor
Day weekend looks great.
I have some more rain showers
late Tuesday into Wednesday.
