Severe storms are possible until around midnight, although the likelihood of weather disturbances is limited as the rush hour for storms is after dark when it is cooler, explains Storm Team4.

There is an isolated risk of flash flooding because it has been raining lately, the National Weather Service – the remnants of Hurricane Ida flooded the capital region just a week ago.

Wednesday started with a sun that pushed temperatures from the 60s to the mid-80s.
