This weekend, rain totals are expected to reach around 1 to 2 inches, with some localized areas potentially receiving more than 3 inches. Severe weather risk is anticipated to taper off later Saturday afternoon, allowing for a brief respite.
Looking Ahead
Conditions are expected to improve overnight after Saturday’s rain, but observers should prepare for increased rain chances again on Tuesday. A slight risk of severe storms is forecasted for both Tuesday and Wednesday, prompting a First Alert Weather Day.
Upcoming Temperature Changes
After the rain, Sunday is expected to be partly sunny and warmer, with high temperatures projected to reach the 70s. This shift in weather will provide a contrast to the current conditions.
