Rain started in our area around 2:30am as a swath of precipitation is moving northwest into our area from the Atlantic ocean. Periods of rain will continue most of today with even a chance of a few rumbles of thunder, about 3/4″ of much needed rain is expected with some higher amounts. High temperatures today will be in the upper 60s.
The rain will become more showery in nature toward evening with still a chance of some thunder.
The upper low responsible for this rain will weaken on Thursday as it moves into our area, we still expect some shower and possibly a thunderstorm but it will be less ub amounts and coverage than today.
Friday will be a warm day as temperatures rise well up into the 70s but a cold front will be approaching from the west that could give us more showers later in the day and at night with even some strong thunderstorms.
Unsettled for the weekend with showers as the cold front will be slowly moving through the area, hopefully the rain could be out of here by Sunday afternoon.
Dry and cooler weather early next week.
