Heavy rain, and even a few embedded storms will build in through the evening commute and last into the middle of our night before tapering off early Tuesday. While no flooding is expected, ponding on roadways is likely to stick around through the morning commute tomorrow.

After the rain tapers off tomorrow, we’re left with clouds and cooler temperatures. Breezy conditions will persist and highs top out in the upper 50s and lower 60s.

WEDNESDAY & THANKSGIVING

Wednesday will be much calmer with a mix of sun and clouds and highs in the upper 40s to lower 50s. Thanksgiving looks great! A decent amount of sunshine is expected early on with clouds increasing by the evening. Highs will be in the middle 50s.

THIS WEEKEND

Expect highs in the 50s on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Isolated showers are possible on Friday as a disturbance moves through. The weekend looks dry with a mix of sun and clouds for both days.
