Rain, heavy at times is expected. The frozen ground has a reduced ability to absorb this rainfall.
Hazards: An additional 10 to 15 mm or rain resulting in total amounts near 30 mm.
Timing: Today through early this evening.
Discussion: Rain is forecast to redevelop near noon today. The rain will likely continue through the afternoon before transitioning to wet snow this evening.
