Rain Develops Saturday Afternoon…

 

Synopsis:

Low pressure number three of this week will move into the area this afternoon through  tonight with more rain. A Flood Watch has been posted for areas West and South of the City. Between one and two inches of rain may cause local flooding of streets and streams. The rain will begin during the early to mid afternoon timeframe and become heavy for a time through the evening and early night hours.

The storm will move into New England on Sunday and strengthen considerably. This will cause winds to increase and become strong out of the Northwest. A mix of sun and clouds is expected. Scattered rain and snow showers are possible. Temperatures will drop through the 40s during the day. Average highs are in the upper 40s.

The blustery conditions will continue on Monday and the chill will remain.

Tuesday and Wednesday will be more tranquil with milder readings as high pressure takes control.

Daylight Saving Time begins Sunday at 2am. Don’t forget to set the clocks ahead one hour before you hit the hay Saturday night. We lose an hour of sleep but get an hour more of daylight in the evening! It’s also a good reminder to change your batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

Stay tuned.
