Heavy Rain; Isolated Strong Storm Possible Today.

TODAY: Heavy rain is likely today as tropical downpours move through the area. 1-3 inches of rain possible across the area, with the highest rainfall totals likely to come to areas along and south of US-82. In addition to heavy rain, enough wind shear will be present today to support a shower or storm capable of producing gusty straight line winds or perhaps a spin-up tornado along and south of US-82. The overall severe threat is low, but make sure to remain weather aware through the day today. Make sure emergency alerts and public safety alerts are turned on in your phone’s notifications, download the WCBI weather app and allow push notifications, and have a battery operated weather radio to stay informed through the day today.    Watch WCBI Weather Webcast
