353 PM EDT Sun Oct 5 2025
...Rain coming late Monday and early Tuesday...
.DISCUSSION...
The area of high pressure that has brought dry weather to the
area over the last week and longer will move far enough away
by late Monday to allow a cold front to start moving through
the area. This cold front will start bringing rain chances late
Monday through early Tuesday. Rainfall will not be significant,
but most sites should see at least a tenth of an inch, and up to
half an inch. More dry weather is on the way for the rest of the
week, along with much cooler weather.
