Have the rain gear with you for the next couple of days with off and on rain today before steadier rain tonight through tomorrow.

The rain, breezy and colder feeling weather that we have been highlighting for several days is here! The worst of our local impacts will be scattered ponding of water, especially tonight and tomorrow along with needing to dress warmer for the breezy and chilly conditions.

Please just take it a little bit slower than normal when traveling. Much of the rain today will be scattered and light to moderate. The rain becomes steadier tonight through mid-afternoon tomorrow and it will be paired with scattered wind gusts near 30 mph and high temperatures only in the low to mid-50s.

There will be slow improvements into Memorial Day weekend. Those details are below!
