Rain over past 24 hours:

Good morning!  Not a bad forecast today, we’ll see rain in northeast and southern areas to start the day, then most areas will dry out before a few additional showers and storms bubble up this afternoon.  I think the model below has a decent handle on where these may concentrate later today.  Localized heavy amounts possible. 

Rain through tonight:

Friday looks great for most!  Increasing sunshine and warm temps.  Scattered storm risks work into the state Saturday from north to south.  Here is a look at total rain potential from late Friday night through Saturday night:

A blast of dry, calm, cooler weather takes hold from Sunday afternoon through Tuesday.  Storm risks return next Wednesday.
