Additional showers and storms can be expected Wednesday through Thursday. Very heavy rainfall will be possible at times, with localized flooding a threat both Wednesday and Thursday. In addition, a few strong to severe storms will be possible at times especially during the afternoon and early evening hours with damaging winds the primary threat.
