Rain should be gone by 2 a.m. Thursday will be mostly cloudy and dry with a high of 59 degrees. Winds from the north will be around 5 to 10 mph.

Thursday night through Friday is our latest 9 FIRST WARNING WEATHER ALERT DAY. This is due to the threat of heavy rain, and potential flooding.

Showers move into the Tri-State late Thursday night and this will be underway as you head out the door on Friday morning. Rounds of rain will continue throughout the rest of the morning and into the early afternoon timeframe. 1 to 2 inches of rain is possible but locally higher amounts cannot be ruled out. This could lead to flooding in low lying areas and creeks, streams and rivers will rise in response to this rain.

We'll also see the chance for thunderstorms with this system on Friday afternoon, potentially into the early evening hours. In addition to the heavy rain and storms, we'll also have high winds throughout the day at 2o to 30 mph.
