Rain is here, and it's going to be here all day long. This is what we call a true "washout forecast" meaning it could more or less rain all day in your town. Roads will be wet too, so this could lead to slowdowns during our peak travel times.

Temperatures will be cooler today due to the cloud cover and rainfall. We'll start at 45 degrees and only warm to 51 degrees this afternoon. The average high for October 29th is 61 degrees. Rain will stay widespread for most of the day but pick up in intensity at times this afternoon.

The area of low pressure that is bringing this rain to our area will also persist on Thursday. The coverage of rain will be a little different tomorrow. When looking at futureview, the rain is more spotty. While Wednesday is basically a day where it rains constantly, Thursday's precipitation will be more off and on. Temperatures only hit 50 tomorrow.

All said and done, this event is a soaker. We should see around 1" of rain for most of the Tri-State by the time rain wraps up Thursday evening around 5 to 6 p.m.
