The first round of rain arrived early Friday, bringing scattered moderate-to-heavy rainfall, with winds continuing to pick up out of the southeast at 15-25 mph and gusts up to 35mph.

First Round

Models indicate a brief break from the rain during the late morning into the early afternoon hours. Round two will arrive around 3 p.m.

The rain will become widespread through day, with the chance for a few strong thunderstorms. Heavy rainfall may lead to localized flooding in low lying and poorly drained areas.

Saturday Afternoon

When that cold front exits Saturday evening, cooler and drier air moves in Sunday and it stays windy.
