Rain continues this morning with some periods being heavy in intensity. Any snowflakes will be north and west from the city. However, cooler air will rush in this morning throughout the day. Expect a chilly rain for the rest of the morning commute and this early afternoon.

Rain should gradually taper off Friday night as the storm moves offshore. Gusty winds of 25 to 30 mph will remain behind the departing system before the coldest air of the season arrives this weekend.

Highs this weekend will stay mainly in the 40s, while overnight temperatures approach freezing under breezy conditions. Slow improvement continues into next week.
