Scattered heavy rainfall continues, before a drier and warmer pattern develops

Updated: 3 hours ago

A slow moving low pressure system sits just to our west tonight, continuing to spin up scattered showers and a few thunderstorms. Locally heavy rainfall has again led to some places picking up a few more inches today, with more to come through Tuesday. Dew points are rather high for the time of year, helping to lead to high moisture content and with favorable conditions to add lift in the atmosphere, heavy downpours have been common. Overall coverage of the rain should become more hit and miss through the night, while we remain cloudy and mild with lows near 60. The same weather system will only slowly move to the south and east through Tuesday, combined with an upper low over the state. This combination will keep chances on the higher side for more scattered showers and thunderstorms with still the potential for some heavier rainfall. Over this next 24 hours, another 1-2″ of rain may fall in some places. Temperatures will remain near average, in the mid and upper 60s.
