WHAT TO EXPECT

The storms are gone for Wednesday, so feel free to sleep peacefully.

Tonight will be partly cloudy, with spotty rain and storms developing and moving through at times. The low is around 74 degrees again.

Thursday starts out with some spotty storms but becomes more scattered by the evening. There is an isolated chance for a few severe thunderstorms, so a WVLT First Alert Weather Day is in place. Gusty winds, heavy rain, and small hail are the main threats.

LOOKING AHEAD

Scattered storms continue Friday, but the severe risk looks lower. It could be rainy at times. Highs will still be in the low to mid-90s but feeling closer to 100+ degrees.

This builds up to a 60% coverage at times in rain and storms Friday night through Saturday. This takes from the low 90s to the upper 80s, before rain becomes spotty Sunday.

In your First-Alert 8-day planner, next week starts off sunny and dry, with spotty rain Tuesday building to scattered Tuesday night into early Wednesday.
