You will have about 30 or 35 minutes of light and steady moderate rain. Pretty sure that our forecast model shows the rain moving through now. As we go through 12 30 in the morning, those spotty showers are still back here in the triad. Then it falls apart completely and we are done with the rain and we will be drive for quite a while. High temperatures today in the 50s. Mid50s at rdu, 57 in fayetteville, a low normal temperatures. A little bit warmer for tomorrow. But the rain is ending.
