Multiple areas could get socked with heavy rain.

Rain and thunderstorm chances increase significantly Wednesday afternoon and evening as the first in a series of disturbances moves through the area. Because of the potential for a few strong storms and heavy rain, a WFAA Weather Alert Day is in place.

Looking ahead to the upcoming workweek, the weather turns much more active.

The strongest storms might be capable of large hail and damaging winds, with some likely interfering with Valentine's Day plans.

A slow-moving upper level low pressure system will be approaching the Central Plains by the middle of next week.
