First Alert Weather: More rain and a threat for flooding into this evening

First Alert Chief Meteorologist Mike Buresh is watching showers and a few storms into tonight. They will again produce locally heavy rain with a risk for localized flooding.

The weekend will not be *as* wet as recent days but still with a few scattered showers, plenty of clouds and warm/humid midday/afternoon temperatures in the 80s.

Rain will increase again next week with a persistent onshore wind off the Atlantic but temperatures will at least remain “mild” – in the 80s during the day, and 70s at night.

The tropics remain quiet for the moment. There are multiple tropical waves and low pressure areas. A tropical system may form over the weekend over the Western Gulf of Mexico. More in Talking the Tropics With Mike .
