Limited rainfall Wednesday, with more showers possible through Easter

The Gulf Coast remains in a warm, unsettled spring stretch, though rain chances ease heading into Thursday. Today brings scattered afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms, highs near 80, and a stickier feel. Thursday turns mostly dry with only a stray pop-up. Warm, partly sunny weather holds Friday and Saturday, with highs near 80 and just a very isolated shower. Easter Sunday stands out as the best bet for showers and storms later in the day, while dangerous surf keeps red flags posted at most local beaches.
