The moist, cooler-than-average pattern that began Sunday night is likely to remain across the region through Wednesday. Although Thursday and Friday are likely to be a little sunnier and warmer, it may be the weekend before we return to average July temperatures.

As of early afternoon Tuesday there are breaks in the overcast, especially west of the divide and out on the plains. But just small amounts or solar heating are triggering showers and thunderstorms. Almost everyone is likely to see at least some light amounts, and a few spots may see locally heavy rain this afternoon and evening.

Wednesday is likely to be similar with some breaks in the overcast, but considerable amount of clouds and some showers around throughout the day. Locally heavy rain in afternoon thunderstorms may trigger some local flooding.
