The map above shows the strongest period of rain today will be this afternoon around 4 or 5PM. It will just be on and off to start this morning for most places but will pick up steam around noon. It will back off a little this evening but will crank up again overnight.
The rain should give us a break on Saturday morning around 8AM.
Saturday and Sunday and Monday mostly dry!
Contrary to previous forecasts, the rest of the weekend looks mostly dry now with just a risk of patchy rain and made a thunderstorm!
Showers next week.
Another weaker system should push through with rain on Tuesday morning and then maybe another on Thursday but nothing too serious by the looks of the charts!
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you have a nice, and COVID safe Thanksgiving. Take care. See you on Tuesday.
