That means Wednesday will be the best chance of rain we will see this week.
After 1 pm Wednesday, scattered coverage of storms will be over the Miami Valley until the late evening hours, Marando said.
Some areas may stay dry, but any of the downpours will come with heavy rain, lightning strikes, and even some gusty winds. The good news is we are not expecting severe weather, but not a bad idea to have an umbrella.
