Wednesday, June 4 forecast: Briefly drier ahead of another wave of storms Friday
Waves of heavy rain have left many areas waterlogged. This is especially true along and north of I-44, where 1 to 4″ of rain fell between Tuesday night and Wednesday afternoon. Springfield saw the rain come in two bursts, one last night with another big wave early Wednesday afternoon. This rain stretched northeast into Marshfield, where rain totals over half a foot likely occurred.

Bands of showers will continue into the evening, mainly south of I-44. Rainfall rates of 1 to 2″ per hour will occur with the heavier pockets of rain, resulting in locally excessive rainfall amounts that could exceed 1 or 2″.
We'll begin Thursday with cloudy skies and damp conditions, but it looks like Thursday as a whole will be drier. Morning clouds will give way to breaks in the clouds with sunshine pushing temperatures into the upper 70s and low 80s. It will be a warm and humid afternoon with spotty showers and thunderstorms possible. Most of this pop-up activity will develop south of a Harrison to Eminence line, with most locations remaining dry throughout the day.
A bigger wave of rain and thunder is expected to sweep through the region Friday. This round will arrive early in the day and depart during the afternoon. Heavy rainfall is likely, and this wave of storms could also bring a round of damaging winds to some areas. The morning wave of storms should depart fast enough for some afternoon sun. Some pop-up shower or thunderstorm activity is possible heading into the early evening, but most areas will remain dry.
Another big wave or rain and thunder will likely develop Friday night across Oklahoma, shifting southeast through Arkansas Saturday morning. Right now, it looks like most of this storm complex will pass just to our south.
Weekend weather will feature a mix of sun and clouds with warm and humid conditions. There will be a risk of scattered showers and thunderstorms both Saturday and Sunday, especially during the afternoon and evening.
A stronger cold front may clear the area Monday, bringing a risk of scattered showers, followed by less humid and quieter weather Tuesday and Wednesday.

Downpours and storms could dump a lot of rain
(WJW) — Another round of showers and storms will move in this afternoon, especially south and east. Scattered rain and a few thunderstorms will favor areas east of Interstate 77 during the afternoon and evening on Friday. There will still be some dry breaks with temperatures in the mid-70s. TRACKING: Showers and storms. Here's a look at LIVE radar. These are going to be slow-moving downpours and thunderstorms. Any downpours or storms that develop will not be in hurry to move and could dump quite a bit of rain in one spot. This could lead to a flooding threat. Expected rainfall totals: The chance of rain will go down for the start of the weekend. Unfortunately, this weekend may not be completely rain-free. A few rain showers could develop on Sunday as an area of low pressure moves through the Ohio River Valley. Highs on Saturday and Sunday will be in 70s. There will be a drop in the humidity this weekend. The start of next week will not be much warmer. High temperatures next week will generally be about 5 degrees below normal.

Summer heat and humidity continue with few rain chances
LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) – After a steamy start to the day, sunshine will help to warm temperatures quickly around the area. Highs reach the lower 90s this afternoon with little to help break the heat. An isolated storm will be possible, but most areas will miss out on any rain. This weekend, the heat will continue around the area as temperatures both Saturday and Sunday reach the lower 90s. A few cooling storms will develop, especially Sunday, but again, most of the area will remain rain-free. In the tropics, dry air and wind shear are preventing anything from forming in the Gulf, Caribbean, and Atlantic through the next week. Locally, a big change in the weather pattern comes our way for next week as a weak front settles across the area. This will bring increased rain chances to the area beginning Monday with heavier rainfall possible in parts of the area. This will keep temperatures in the 80s during the afternoon hours.
