MAIN WEATHER CONCERNS: Storms are expected to linger into the evening on Wednesday but should die off after 10 p.m. Thursday will be a repeat but rain increase significantly. Lightning will also be a threat. Another round of storms is expected Thursday, mainly after 2-3pm. Concerns are like previous days...heavy rain and lots of lightning. The beaches see the lowest coverage at 40% or less, inland areas remain higher at 60%+. Rain will ease up late evening with skies turning partly cloudy overnight.
BEACHES:
There will be a 40% chance for afternoon showers/storms at the beaches primarily after 11am as the Atlantic seabreeze fires up. Surf is beat, around a foot in a small dribble of Southeast trade swell.
Moderate risk for rip currents. Lightning will be a possible danger should storms drift back towards the coast in the late afternoon and early evening.
Remember, when thunder roars, go indoors.
