Some storms may be accompanied by heavy rain with some 1-2″ per hour rain rates in some areas. A flood watch is in effect.

The front will sag to our south early Wednesday morning and an onshore low along with considerable cloudiness will make it much cooler than the last few days with highs only near 70 degrees. Showers and thunderstorms are still likely.

More heavy rain is possible Friday & Saturday as the remnants of Debby along with the stationary front remain in our area. Still some doubt on the track of the storm but there is a potential of more flooding rains.
