That results in isolated to widely scattered showers and storms during the afternoon. Some rain lingers into the evening and even through Wednesday night.
Otherwise, high temperatures range from the 80s to 90° Wednesday with a partly cloudy sky. Isolated to widely scattered showers and storms cover part of our area throughout Thursday.
