Short Term Weather Update for Now thru 6am on Saturday

As we move into the overnight hours tonight, periods of light rain, scattered moderate showers and possibly a few isolated thunderstorms can be expected to gradually develop and slowly increase across the local region.

Generally brief but heavy downpours of rain are possible with any scattered heavier showers or isolated thunderstorms. Most precipitation, however, will be light to moderate in intensity through dawn across most of the area.

East to Northeast winds will continue to slowly increase overnight, becoming sustained at 20-25 mph, with gusts of 30-35 mph possible starting mainly toward dawn.

Looking ahead to the period 6am-12 Noon on Saturday: Rain and occasional heavier showers will increase into the morning hours on Saturday area-wide. A few scattered thunderstorms are also possible. Locally heavy downpours of rain are possible at times in some parts of the area on Saturday morning. East to Northeast winds will increase to around 25 mph on a sustained basis with frequent gusts of 30-40 mph on Saturday morning.



We will continue monitoring the situation and issue updates as conditions warrant.
