Notice how i was showing rain at 4 00 a. M. I think its earlier than that. Around midnight or so. The low tonight is 42. At least with the cloud cover coming in, the temperatures stabilize. We dont drop off the cliff tonight. I want to compare a couple planners for you. Toms river, ocean county, we see rainfall all ready early evening temperatures not bad in the mid 40s but you go to a northern suburb like dan bury connecticut and temperatures are in the mid 30s. Theres freezing rain advisories over South Central pennsylvania but i dont think we have to worry about that. Meanwhile well have light rain during the day tomorrow. And moderate at times. Have your umbrella and raincoat all day long. And dress warm. Temperatures should be around 50s. But it never feels that warm because its damp and raw out. The good news is if you like the milder pattern over all, as we go through the first week or two of december, the patterns changes. Air, but over all, above average, and after we get passed this twoday rainfall. Theres nothing significant through the 11th or 12th in terms of rainfall. Youll get through december without any major winter system. A couple sprinkles to the south. The main rain hitting the ground is near dc. Thats later tonight. If you look at future cast, rainfall from city south and west, by midnight, getting night. Its light to occasionally moderate during the day tomorrow. No big rainfall totals or ponding but roadways will be wet and slippery. I think theres a distinct break where the rain is more occasional. A little drizzle and its heavier on wednesday from late morning through the early evening hours. Expected rainfall totals through wednesday night could approach an inch in a couple spots. A couple rainy days coming up. Looking at wednesday, its periods of rain steadiest from late morning through early evening. 57s nice. And thursday is blustery around 50s. But the suns coming back and well have a great stretch of weather around 50 going into the weekend. A little above normal. Chilly nights but not bad as we go through the first weekend of december.
