It has been a gloomy weekend. In fact, in the last 72 hours, some areas have gotten more than an inch of rain.
This accumulation is badly needed and will help to alleviate the prolonged drought. The drought monitor will be updated on Thursday with the new results, however, most counties are now experiencing a Moderate drought. This suggests the ground is drier than usual and needs rain.
The rain streak has officially ended for roughly a week. However, a jet of moisture will remain overnight in the northern regions. The mild breezes, cool mornings, and moist atmosphere will allow fog to form on Monday morning.
Visibility may be considerably decreased in certain areas during the morning commute. Please remember to use low-beam headlights and drive safely.
By Monday afternoon, temperatures will have risen into the upper 60s, approximately 10 degrees above normal. The warmth will not last long. The next major cold front is expected to blow through Monday night and Tuesday. This will allow for a significant temperature drop.
On Wednesday morning, cooler air settles across the region, potentially leading to another freeze. Following that, the temperature continues to rise as we approach the following weekend and the next likelihood of rain.
