LOOKING AHEAD:

Another surge of humidity quickly returns by Thursday, leading to some areas of patchy morning fog and drizzle. As a disturbance pushes across the state, spotty showers and a few storms will then be possible, mainly through the early afternoon.

After that, rain chances are pretty much out of the forecast for the remainder of the year as high temperatures climb into the unseasonably warm upper-70s to round out 2024.

More updates to come! And don’t worry – we’re keeping Santa informed on the storm chance tonight!
