A stunning weather day with sunshine and warm temperatures, albeit slightly below the seasonable norm of 84 degrees. I don't think I am going to hear anyone complaining about the forecast today.

Nor should I hear anyone complaining about Tuesday or Wednesday's forecast. Both days look stunning with sunshine, limited humidity, and seasonable warmth. If you want to gripe about Thursday, I understand. Rain is no one's friend these days.

It looks like Thursday could be a most of the day wet weather experience. Passing showers develop in the morning and then in an on again, off again fashion that scenario would continue for the duration of the day. Both the morning and the evening commutes could be impacted. It is still too early to know just how much rain is feasible. With that question still uncertain it is tough to say if the region will see any flooding. The rivers and streams in the state are running higher than normal. These next few dry days should allow some of that water to sink a little lower in their bank. But potential flooding will need to be monitored.
