Currently…

Temperatures are right around 30° with a mostly cloudy sky. Cold, northwestern winds may make the morning commute pretty chilly, but the roads are dry.

The wind is going to start taking a shift as the temperatures begin to rise into the mid-40s. Rain is expected to start right around noon and will stay consistent throughout the day. The highest temperature will hit the mid-40s and then drop into the high-30s. Have that rain coat handy.

Strong southern winds will draw that moisture in throughout the day as a cold front approaches the area. Wind gusts as high as 20 mph at lunchtime. The temperature will increase into the high-50s, possibly 60°. As the sun goes down, the temperature will drop into the high-30s. Rain will continue throughout the night, as well.

Even more rain starting on Thursday. The amount of rain we are forecasted for is concerning for our area, considering the amount of rain we have already received. If any of you all live near a body of water, please watch and prepare for the rising levels this week.
