ALERT DAY Tuesday For Heavy Rain - Jacob

WHAT WE'RE TRACKING:

• ALERT DAY for heavy rain Tuesday

• Isolated storm chance on July 4th

• Remaining near average going forward

PLANNING THE NEXT 24 HOURS: We'll remain cloudy throughout the night with showers and storms developing late. Shower and thunderstorm activity is expected to continue for most of the day Tuesday, with the heaviest rain coming during the evening. There is an isolated chance of a severe storm, but the heavy rain that could lead to localized flooding will be the biggest threat. Because we could be seeing isolated rain fall totals up near 3 inches, we have put an ALERT DAY in the forecast Tuesday. The southwestern portion of the state will likely see the most rain out of this system.

EXTENDED FORECAST: Rain will clear out overnight Tuesday, with sunshine expected by Wednesday afternoon. The shower and thunderstorm chance does return for the 4th, but latest data does suggest a break possible during most firework shows. High temperatures the rest of this week and most of next week will remain in the upper 70s and lower 80s.
