Looking ahead, Saturday morning will start cool and comfortable, but clouds will blanket the area by afternoon. Highs will only reach the upper 60s, with a north breeze ushering in moisture that brings showers beginning Sunday.
The latest forecasts predict rain totals could reach between 1 to 3 inches by Monday morning, escalating the flood threat for many neighborhoods. As the rain intensifies overnight into Monday, residents are urged to stay tuned for updates and prepare for possible travel disruptions.
As we approach Thanksgiving week, drier and cooler air is expected, with temperatures dropping significantly by Thanksgiving Day. Travelers are advised to exercise caution if traveling on Monday morning, as road conditions may deteriorate due to flooding.
