the area, and right through the evening drive time, getting some really good downpours with these storms, and remember we already had so much rain and that is why flooding is a concern. and then it doesn't disappear after that and the front is slowly moving, and i think even beyond 6:30 we'll see the cells move through, they could continue to produce these heavy downpours at times and that could last knew the overnight hours, including tonight with downpours in spots. it's a long time we are dealing with the rain at least, lets look at your commute, strong storms and humid and dropping down to the low 80s after upper 80s, watch for the drefrnch so humid with a gusty thunderstorm
