Those eager to see the sun will probably have to wait until Tuesday, says the National Weather Service.
In the meantime, forecasters urge area motorists to exercise caution: Because several inches of rain have fallen during the past 36 hours, low-lying areas are susceptible to flooding, particularly because more precipitation is expected.
Scattered showers are predicted on Friday, Sept. 30, with a high temperature near 63 and northeast winds around 14 mph. The chance of precipitation is 50 percent with new amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch.
The showers will continue overnight, mainly after 3 a.m., and the mercury will dip into the high 50s. The chance of precipitation is 60 percent with more accumulation between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible.
On Saturday, Oct. 1, the pattern continues with showers likely, mainly before 2 p.m. and a high temperature of 71. Northeast winds will subside to 8 to 10 mph, but the chance of precipitation is expected to remain at 60 percent with new rainfall between a tenth and quarter of an inch during the day and more of the same on Saturday night, according to the NWS.
The forecast for Sunday, Oct. 2, also includes a chance of showers. Mostly cloudy skies are expected with a high near 74 and winds diminishing to 6 mph. The chance of precipitation also declines, dipping to 40 percent during the day and 20 percent at night, when the temperature will likely drop a bit below 60.
On Monday, Oct. 3, expect more of the same: a high near 73 and a 30 percent chance of rain. However, the sun is predicted to return on Tuesday, Oct. 4, with a high near 71, the NWS said.
