.DISCUSSION...
Cool, breezy and wet conditions continue this morning as rain
showers persist. The afternoon will come with some drier time
before the next wave of rain moves through tomorrow. There will be
2 rounds of rain tomorrow, the first of which comes during the
midday and afternoon hours, then the second arrives overnight into
Sunday morning. We have medium confidence in wetting rain today
as totals may only be around 0.10-0.15" and are purely based on
the placement of showers. High confidence for wetting rain
tomorrow into Sunday with an additional 0.25-0.50" of rain
expected. Winds will be gusty at the surface and ridgetop level
but gradually weaken through Saturday.
