Look for widespread rainfall amounts of one to three inches with isolated higher amounts possible through Sunday. This may result in additional rises on area waterways as well as localized flooding of flood prone and poor drainage areas.
Cooler temperatures are expected across the region today in the wake of a cold front combined with increasing showers and thunderstorms. Highs will range from the mid and upper 50s north to the 60s and lower 70s south.
Rain will expand across much of the region today as periods of showers and a few embedded thunderstorms are expected.
Widespread showers and embedded thunderstorms will further expand across the area later tonight as a strong upper-level disturbance tracks into the region.
Here are the daily climate data for selected cities in the Four State Area.
