Posted

Rain is likely to develop tonight and continue tomorrow as winds rise to gusts above 25 mph, the National Weather Service is predicting.

The rain tomorrow could be fairly heavy, amounting to a quarter or perhaps a half an inch. The precipitation should taper off Sunday, before it builds again to a 90 percent chance of rain Sunday night and Monday. After that, the Weather Service has the likelihood of rain varying from 30 to 60 percent every day through next Thursday.

The temperature will remain relatively stable, with daytime highs in the mid 40s to mid 50s, and lows in the upper 30s to mid 40s.

You can watch the progress of the systems that produce the rain with the radar and satellite images available through our web weather page.
