In Depth:
All eyes remain on Tropical Storm Francine which continues to churn slowly in the Gulf of Mexico.
Francine brings rain Thursday through the start of the weekend. A few early raindrops may be around by daybreak Thursday, but the heavier soaking rain bands aren't expected until the afternoon & evening hours Thursday.
Rainfall from Francine will do a lot of good for the quickly expanding drought, but it may come at the cost of some localized flash flooding as well as a couple quick spin-up isolated tornadoes from Thursday through Friday.
Francine will finally start to wind down late Friday into Saturday, although lingering showers & storms will be ongoing through most of the daytime hours Saturday.
