Today

For the morning commute to work, showers will be entering our community. These will remain light with the brunt of the precipitation taking place in the late morning to early afternoon. At most, we will have precipitation totals of a quarter to half of an inch.

For as long as shower chances are around, we will remain under overcast skies. Thus, by the evening, a gradual clearing of clouds will take place and continue on into the overnight hours. Throughout the day, we will have a gentle breeze, so having a jacket handy may not be a bad idea.
