Weather Outlook

Yesterday, it rained hard. I know it flooded in some areas. Follow us as we take a look at WTVA – The Weather Authority forecast for the day:

Flash flood threat continues into the weekendMORE RAIN INTO FRIDAY & THE WEEKEND

We begin our Friday with cloudy skies, fog and drizzle. A spotty shower is also possible with temperatures near the mid-60s. Through the day, clouds stick around and spotty showers increase a bit more. Temperatures reach the lower to mid-70s. Then into the evening and overnight, showers and storms become more widespread across the South. Some will be long-lasting, posing a greater flash flood threat. A Flash Flood Watch includes the southern half of our area until 7 p.m. Saturday.
