Good Wednesday, everyone. Our broken record of a forecast keeps on keepin’ on with rounds of showers and thunderstorms on the way. I get some of you haven’t had a lot of rain in recent weeks, but we have had no shortage of rain chances. Those chances don’t look to go away anytime soon.

We have a wave of low pressure working to our north and east today. This will give us scattered showers and storms across the central and east early in the day. Increasing amounts of sun will develop from west to east with highs in the 80s.

Enjoy the day and take care.
