Okay, here wo go! Over the next few hours a warm front will lift through the area, producing isolated showers and a couple of downpours that may contain a few thunderstorms.. These are more likely around 2 a.m. or closer to daybreak. Morning lows will begin in the upper 40s, that's warmer than our usual afternoon highs!
We'll start Thursday with isolated showers but then wet weather ramp up after noon and the heavy rain continues through about dinnertime. Expect showers, some downpours and even a few rumbles of thunder as the cold front comes through. Rainfall amounts will range from 0.50" to 1" .
Most of the rain will come down during the afternoon, so get ready for wet roads and slow downs for the evening drive. Some road ponding is expected as well. Plus, winds will be gusty 20-25 mph and up to about 30mph before diminishing into the evening.
Colder air spills in behind the rain and the cold front, but it won't be a drastic drop. Friday will stay mostly sunny with a high temperature of 52°. Wind will turn to the northwest at 10 to 15 mph with another front moving through Friday night and into Saturday. This will bring in even colder air for Saturday and we could also see a few flurries or a snow shower early Saturday morning as the front pushes to the south. Temperatuers rebound into Sunday and stay mild into next week. It's more sunshine for Sunday with a few clouds and a slight chance for a shower into the evening.
