Tonight, long after polls close, showers will move through with maybe 1/10th of an inch of rainfall. February is currently the 8th-wettest on record. If any rain falls before midnight we will move into 7th.
Tomorrow will be breezy and unseasonably warm with highs not far from 60 degrees. Thursday will be colder with a mix of clouds and sun ahead of a big storm system-reminiscent of last week’s national blockbuster. This could bring a significant snowstorm here or nearby on Friday, so this one needs to be monitored closely as a potential big-ticket item.
