Showers have begun to push in from the south this evening and will continue to ramp up as we head into the overnight hours.
Expect to see very heavy widespread rain, which will be with us between midnight and 7 a.m. This should keep our temperatures warm overnight, only falling to 53°. The warmth will be with us for the first half of Sunday as well as that rain. Spotty showers will be with us off and on the remainder of Sunday, with some heavy downpours likely, possibly even a few rumbles of thunder too.
Temperatures will be warmest during the morning, with our high temperature of 59 to 61° likely occurring before noon. From there, the temps start to drop into the evening. However, we will also be very breezy. Winds from the south will be sustained between 15 to 25 mph, with gusts as strong as 40 mph at times.
Rain totals will likely be higher than 1.00" inches in most areas, with some possibly seeing as much as 2.00".
It is dry for now but heavier rain is on the way later tonight and into early Sunday morning. In fact, some areas could see between 1 to 2 inches by the end of the day on Sunday. Watch out for localized flooding in some areas Sunday morning. #wcpo @wcpo pic.twitter.com/BsryjApxPY

While drier air will be in the area on Monday, there will still be a slight chance for a spotty shower or two in the middle of the day. Monday will stay warm as well, with a high near 51°. That is 10 degrees above normal. The warmth continues into our final day of 2024 on Tuesday, but so do the rain chances. In fact, Tuesday will bring a chance of rain from wire to wire. This does mean you will likely need the rain gear as you ring in 2025.
The start to 2025 will be nothing like the final few days of 2024. Every day for the rest of the week will be colder than normal with highs in the 30s, and lows dipping into the 20s. While still early, we have to keep a close eye on next Sunday and Monday (January 5 & 6) for the potential of an impactful system. Stay tuned!
