       * Flood watch until 4 a.m. Thursday *

       With higher humidity and temperatures than recent days, it felt a bit summerlike out there today despite a good deal of cloudiness. Highs in the mid- and upper 80s are a little above average for the date. Pretty typical June, nonetheless. The soup was an indication that rain chances are ahead. While the heaviest probably will stay south and southwest, we should still see some downpours this evening and tonight.
