PM Update: Showers and rumbles Friday, with some heavy rain possible

Temperatures today were much cooler than in recent days. Still, it felt pretty good, as long as you found the sunny spots. That was a bit more difficult this afternoon given that clouds increased. Those clouds are our friends tonight, as long as you’re trying to keep temperatures as mild as possible (it is May, after all!). They become less friendly tomorrow with rain moving into the region.

Through Tonight: Mid- and high-level cloudiness persists this evening (someone might see a nice sunset!). We may actually clear out a bit for the night, but clouds are moving back in by dawn. Temperatures dip to the mid-40s in the coolest spots to around 50 in the milder ones.

Tomorrow (Friday): Clouds are increasing early, with showers becoming more likely midday. Rain could be widespread from the mid- to late afternoon and into the evening. Some heavy rain and a little thunder is also possible. The severe weather risk appears rather low. Rainfall totals could range from about a quarter-inch to an inch. Highs are in the low and mid-60s. Winds are from the south through the day, changing to northwest late.
