Keep those umbrellas handy as washout conditions remain with us for another day. 60% chance of precipitation with mostly cloudy skies will follow with a significant drop in temperatures. Highs will hover in the 40s as the chances of rain start to diminish as we head through the day. We will be close to the edge of a marginal risk (1/5) so be prepared for a thunderstorm or two.

This concludes the washout weekend forecast for the region. Congratulations to the fall class of 2023 for all your achievements. Drive safely this weekend with incoming rain as roads can be slick along with ponding in low spots. Do not let the rain take away your weekend fun. It is the perfect weather for hot chocolate and soup as it is moving into the usual temperature range for this month. Enjoy your weekend and remember, Stay classy WABBLES. Until next time.
I may have bought the wrong marshmallows. (GIPHY)
