The main hazards of these storms are lightning and brief heavy downpours that could cause some flash flooding concerns. However, a majority of people will remain dry this evening. As we lose the daytime heating, we will start to see drier conditions later tonight. Wednesday morning will be mostly cloudy, with lows in the low 70s.
