Local Forecast:
Plenty of tropical is around and so far we have had a wet Wednesday. The forecast calls for anytime tropical downpours through Thursday. Winds are expected to decrease for the weekend with seasonal rain chances and temperatures returning. Look for a morning coastal shower on the breeze and afternoon isolated inland storms through early next week. For now, have the rain gear on hand just in case.
While rain chances go down for the weekend, early showers/late-day storms are still expected. @wsvn pic.twitter.com/Av9rqBmLSC
