Another Round of Rain Coming the End of the Week

Good afternoon! Rain showers will decrease this afternoon in the west, becoming partly clouds for the evening. Patchy to areas of fog tonight, mainly in areas that had rain and very little sun. For the rest of the week, another round of heavy rain is expected. This system should bring localized flooding and gusty winds. Cannot rule out isolated thunderstorms with the cold front. Saturated soil and gusty winds could cause trees to fall. Use caution while outdoors towards the end of the week.

	W et Bulb Globe Temperature Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) is a measure of the heat stress in direct sunlight, which takes into account: temperature, humidity, wind speed, sun angle and cloud cover (solar radiation). This differs from the heat index, which takes into consideration temperature and humidity and is calculated for shady areas. For more background info on WBGT, click here.
