Stop by and drop off supplies to help local classrooms start the year strong. Donations are accepted at 200 North Adams Ave until August 6th! Too busy to make it to the store?

Showers have already started for some along the coast this morning. Additional showers and thunderstorms will develop this afternoon as both a weak frontal boundary and the sea breeze interact with a very tropical air mass in place across the region. These storms will be capable of producing heavy rain that could lead to some nuisance street flooding. Storms will gradually dissipate this evening as temperatures cool.
