Discussion
There is potential for yet another heavy rain event at the end of the work week and it could include strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity as well. High pressure will dominate the scene around here into Thursday, but then a warm front will approach the area from the southwest. This front will stall out over the region by Friday and allow low pressure to track right along its boundary zone. While there can be a few showers and thunderstorms later Thursday and Thursday night, the main event will come on Friday and Friday night with numerous showers and thunderstorms likely. Some of the rain is likely to be heavy at the end of the week and some of the storms can reach strong-to-severe levels. The rain could even linger into the first part of the weekend; especially, near coastal sections. High pressure will eventually win out by later in the weekend and temperatures should remain on the comfortable side both weekend days. One final note, given the saturated grounds from recent heavy rains, flash flooding will likely become a real concern with the upcoming heavy rain event.
