Weather Forecast and Local News for Tomorrow

As the day progresses, we can expect some changes in the weather. The skies will brighten near lunchtime, offering a break from the overcast conditions that have been present at the start of the day. However, rain and storm chances will increase slightly in the evening hours, so be prepared for a few showers.

While many neighborhoods will stay dry this afternoon, a few showers are expected to develop tonight, making wet pavement likely. An easterly wind flow is anticipated tonight, which will contribute to the cooler temperatures. The mercury will drop to the 60s, making it a mild but muggy evening.

The humidity will make it feel warmer than the actual air temperature, with the feels-like temperature on Wednesday ranging between 85 to 90 degrees.

Meanwhile, Hurricane Erin continues to approach the Mid-Atlantic coast of the USA as a Category 2 storm. It is expected to pass off the Mid-Atlantic coast on Thursday, bringing more clouds and cool breezes. Coastal areas should be prepared for heavy rain, strong winds, and coastal flooding risks.

Strong rip currents and possible beach closures are expected due to Hurricane Erin being offshore from the US. It's important to stay informed and follow any advisories issued by local authorities.

On a brighter note, Summer Restaurant Week is ongoing, offering good deals on local eats until Sunday. So, after the rain, why not head out for a delicious meal at participating restaurants?

Stay safe and dry, and we'll keep you updated on the weather and local news.
