Dreary weather with downpours is the theme for Thursday. Rain moves in early with pockets of moderate to heavy rainfall. This will be mostly rain, but there could be an icy spot or two, especially early in the morning.

There will be a few brief breaks from the rain throughout the day, but overall, it will be another drenching day. Expected rain could amount to between half an inch to an inch. Isolated flash flooding from unmaintained storm drains is possible.

The rain moves in between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. and continues throughout all of Thursday and into the early parts of Friday. This means both commutes on Thursday will be soggy. Make sure to bring your umbrella and wear good waterproof shoes for puddles. Friday will dry out by mid-morning, and then our next round of rain could be Saturday night into early Sunday.

Temperatures will stay in the mid-40s through Friday and soar into the weekend. Expect 50s for Saturday and 60s for Sunday. Monday, depending on how a front moves through, temperatures could be cooler or even warmer-- but then we are in business for a spree of spring-like temps!

Sunday is the start of Daylight Saving Time. Clocks will "spring forward" at 2 a.m. on Sunday, allowing for sunrises and sunsets that are both an hour later.
