Just like the past several days, we’ll be watching for a few spotty showers and thunderstorms developing late this afternoon into the evening. Any storm could produce brief heavy rain, gusty winds and plenty of lightning, so keep an eye on the sky if you have outdoor plans.

PERSEID METEOR SHOWER PEAKS THIS WEEK
One of the best meteor showers of the year is peaking between Wednesday and Thursday this week. So, between any scattered rain and clouds this week, try to check it out at night or early in the morning. They will still be visible leading up to and past the actual peak.
