Clouds increased late in the day on Saturday and should continue to pick up as we head into the overnight tonight. As those clouds pick up, they will bring in the chance for some rain and storms through the overnight. The best chances will be as we get past 3 a.m. to 4 a.m.

Tomorrow is the big day in the Tri-State as runners hit the streets for the Flying Pig Marathon and half marathon. Unfortunately, there has a big shift in the weather models and trends over the last 36 hours and that brings in the chance at some showers, maybe some storms, for the morning hours.

Race time is at 6:30 a.m. and unfortunately that is about the time some of the heaviest rain bands will start to be rolling in. Coverage in rain will be widespread at times throughout the morning as we see some bands of rain roll through. There may be some periodic heavy rainfall at times.

It looks like we'll see scattered showers last through the morning hours, tapering away as we get closer to noon. Temperatures will be near 61 to start the morning, but will start to climb into the mid 60s by midday. Additional rounds of showers and storms will be in the forecast as we get closer to the lunch hour as well as the evening, but these will be more isolated. Some strong gusts of wind could accompany these storms.

An active weather pattern continues for early next week and it looks like warm air is going to make a statement! Scattered storms look likely on Monday with highs into the upper 70s. We'll stay with highs in the upper 70s if not around 80° for much of the week, with drier weather for Wednesday and Thursday.
