will redevelop overnight to the west and drift into the region
Thursday morning. After a lull during the late morning, rain
chances increase from west to east tomorrow afternoon into the
night. Rain ends Friday with slightly cooler air in place, and low
rain chances will persist through the weekend. That said, most of
the time will stay dry. Temperatures remain near to slightly-above
normal before warming further yet again early next week.
