The first storm-train of the season rolls along! After a weak system brought a quick shot of rain to the area today, a couple more systems late this week and through the weekend are on their way.
Tomorrow (Thursday) should start off fairly calm - maybe a few showers, especially in the afternoon. Rain and breezy winds will pick up overnight into the early morning hours of Friday, and look to stick around through much of the day. A half-inch of rain by Friday night looks quite likely, if not more. Winds don’t look too strong, with peak gusts only in the 30mph range - but again, these early-season storms can be more impactful with lower wind speeds, because of all the leaves still on the trees. Clogged storm drains are a good bet, broken branches are quite possible, and isolated power outages aren’t out of the question either.
The next system brings more wet and breezy conditions for the weekend. We’ll have a better idea on timing and impacts in the next day or so - but we do know it will be on the chillier side, with afternoon temps struggling to make it to the low-50s!
