MORE RAIN: The coastal low brought us clouds and rain, but the heavy rain was unexpected. Some areas have already received over 4” of rain and more is in the forecast for today. Periods of rain can be expected as we move though our Friday. Showers to heavy downpours will move through, supplied by rich moisture off the Atlantic. Expect several hours of rain again today. We could see an additional 2-3” of rain fall on already saturated ground, so flooding of roads and small creeks and streams remains likely in some locations. Highs today will be held in the low 60s.
The rain should break up and become less widespread as we move into the evening hours. Bring rain gear and boots to navigate local high school games tonight. Temperatures will be near 60° with cool, damp air in place.
WEEKEND: Saturday and Sunday look cloudy still as this low slowly breaks down and slips away. Saturday, we may see some drizzle or a few showers. Highs hit the mid 60s. Sunday, a peek or two of sun may return, but easterly flow will help keep the clouds and cool air settled in place with highs holding in the mid 60s. A stray drop or two can’t be ruled out.
NEXT WEEK: A weak front make sit near the region on Monday, which will help to start breaking up the clouds. We’re mostly cloudy with highs in the upper 60s. Tuesday will feature more sunshine as we await our next system. Highs hit the low 70s. Wednesday into the end of the week, we’re still hammering out the timing of the next system. For now, Wednesday looks partly cloudy and mainly dry, with rain arriving for Thursday and maybe into Friday. Highs will hold near 70°.
