Rain and severe storms… Expect plenty of clouds and drizzle today with highs in the low 50s. Most of today’s rain will fall early this morning for our northern areas. Scattered showers will mix in this afternoon and evening. Scattered showers will continue for most of the daytime hours Wednesday.

Severe storms could bring damaging winds and localized flooding. Highs will warm into the upper 60s on Wednesday, ahead of the cold front. A few rain showers may linger into early Thursday morning but skies will clear for Friday and the weekend. Temperatures will cool back into the 50s to end the week and 40s on Saturday.
