It may look mostly like a typical rainy day in many spots, though some rain bands could be intense at times. The tornado threat will increase by afternoon, and during the evening into early Thursday, expect winds to tropical storm force near the coast. Finally, the water level forecast for tonight’s high tide around 8:30 has been revised upward to 8.5’.
