FRIDAY PM: Rain chances decrease a little as we head into the late afternoon and evening hours on Friday, but scattered showers are still possible overnight into Saturday. The rain this afternoon will not be as heavy and widespread as it was Friday morning.
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY: We’re looking at continuing widespread showers with a 60% rain chance. While it may not be as heavy as Friday morning’s rainfall, now is when we will want to keep an eye out for ponding on the roadways and isolated high water spots as the grounds will be very saturated by this point. It’s too soon to know for sure or know which areas will be the most impacted by flooding, if any.
NEXT WEEK: Light scattered showers continue Monday and Tuesday — we won’t have a really nice, sunny day again until Wednesday.
