First warning: widespread, cold rain is coming

• The cold air will last all week
• Today it is cold, rain all day
• Dry and pleasant weekend

FIRST ALERT WEATHER THURSDAY

Please note if you have travel or outdoor plans on Thursday! A strong cold front is moving in, bringing widespread rain that will likely continue throughout the day.

We have issued a First Alert Weather Day for Thursday. While we don’t expect flooding or severe weather, there will be some impacts.

• Drenching rain for the morning and afternoon commute
• Reduced visibility and slow-moving traffic
• Moderate to heavy rain is possible for some

For those at higher elevations, there is even a chance of a brief wintry mix in the morning before the rain starts to fall. Temperatures will barely reach 40 degrees on Thursday afternoon, making it the coldest day we’ve had since mid-February!

Rain should leave the area this afternoon into the evening hours. An occasional shower cannot be ruled out tonight, but most of the moisture will quickly leave the area.

WEEKEND OUTLOOK

Quieter conditions develop on weekends. Highs will be in the 60s under a mixture of sun and clouds.
