SUMMARY: Good afternoon, everyone. Chief Meteorologist Patrick Big here with your Wednesday WD7 First Alert Weather Focus. We have a lot to discuss, including recent storms in the Midwest, heavy rain in our area, and prospects in the tropics. We’re tracking scattered showers and thunderstorms, cooler temperatures, and widespread rain into the weekend. Illinois and Iowa experienced severe storms and tornadoes, leaving significant damage. The tropics remain quiet for now, thanks to strong high pressure. Monsoon rains continue in the Southwest, with the Southeast facing heavy rain. Expect cooler temperatures and rain for the coming days, but stay cautious of localized flooding.

The First Alert Weather team offers a midweek update on what’s ahead for the Pine Belt on the Wednesday edition of Focus
